Chapter 92

Praise for the LORD'S Goodness.

¹ It is ^(C1)good to give thanks to the LORD
And to ^(C2)sing praises to Your name, Most High;

² To ^(C1)declare Your goodness in the morning
And Your ^(C2)faithfulness by ^(F1)night,

^3 (F1)With the ^(C1)ten-stringed lute and ^(F1)with the ^(C1)harp,
^(F1)With resounding music on the ^(C1)lyre.

⁴ For You, LORD, have made me joyful by ^(F1)what You ^(C1)have done,
I will ^(C2)sing for joy over the ^(C3)works of Your hands.

⁵ How ^(C1)great are Your works, LORD!
Your ^(F1)(C2)thoughts are very ^(C3)deep.

⁶ A ^(C1)stupid person has no knowledge,
Nor does a ^(C1)foolish person understand this:

⁷ When the wicked ^(C1)sprouted up like grass
And all ^(C2)who did injustice flourished,
It was only that they might be ^(C3)destroyed forevermore.

⁸ But You, LORD, are ^(C1)on high forever.

⁹ For, behold, Your enemies, LORD,
For, behold, ^(C1)Your enemies will perish;
All who do injustice will be ^(C2)scattered.

¹⁰ But You have exalted my ^(C1)horn like that of the wild ox;
I have ^(F1)been ^(C2)anointed with fresh oil.

¹¹ And my eye has ^(C1)looked at my enemies,
My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.

¹² The ^(C1)righteous person will ^(F1)flourish like the palm tree,
He will grow like a ^(C2)cedar in Lebanon.

^13 (C1)Planted in the house of the LORD,
They will flourish ^(C2)in the courtyards of our God.

¹⁴ They will still ^(F1)(C1)yield fruit in advanced age;
They will be ^(F2)full of sap and very green,

¹⁵ To ^(F1)declare that ^(C1)the LORD is just;
He is my ^(C2)rock, and there is ^(C3)no malice in Him.

Chapter 93

The Majesty of the LORD.

^1 (C1)The LORD ^(F1)reigns, He is ^(C2)clothed with majesty;
The LORD has ^(C3)clothed and encircled Himself with strength.
Indeed, the ^(C4)world is firmly established; it will not be moved.

² Your ^(C1)throne is established from of old;
You ^(C2)are from eternity.

³ The ^(C1)floods have lifted up, LORD,
The floods have lifted up their voice,
The floods lift up their pounding waves.

⁴ More than the sounds of many waters,
Than the mighty breakers of the sea,
The LORD ^(C1)on high is mighty.

⁵ Your ^(C1)testimonies are fully confirmed;
^(C2)Holiness is pleasing to Your house,
LORD, ^(F1)forevermore.

Chapter 94

The LORD Implored to Avenge His People.

¹ LORD, God of ^(F1)(C1)vengeance,
God of ^(F1)vengeance, ^(F2)(C2)shine forth!

^2 (C1)Rise up, ^(C2)Judge of the earth,
Pay back retribution ^(C3)to the proud.

³ How long, LORD, shall the wicked—
How long shall the ^(C1)wicked triumph?

⁴ They pour out words, they ^(C1)speak arrogantly;
All who do injustice ^(C2)boast.

⁵ They ^(C1)crush Your people, LORD,
And ^(C2)afflict Your inheritance.

⁶ They ^(C1)kill the widow and the stranger
And murder the orphans.

^7 (C1)They have said, "^(F1)The LORD does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob perceive."

⁸ Pay attention, you ^(C1)stupid ones among the people;
And when will you understand, ^(C1)foolish ones?

⁹ He who ^(C1)planted the ear, ^(F1)does He not hear?
Or He who formed the eye, ^(F1)does He not see?

¹⁰ He who ^(F1)(C1)disciplines the nations, will He not rebuke,
He who ^(C2)teaches mankind knowledge?

¹¹ The LORD ^(C1)knows human thoughts,
^(F1)That they are mere breath.

¹² Blessed is the man whom ^(C1)You discipline, ^(F1)LORD,
And ^(C2)whom You teach from Your Law,

¹³ So that You may grant him ^(C1)relief from the ^(C2)days of adversity,
Until ^(C3)a pit is dug for the wicked.

¹⁴ For ^(C1)the LORD will not abandon His people,
Nor will He ^(C2)abandon His inheritance.

¹⁵ For ^(F1)(C1)judgment ^(F2)will again be righteous,
And all the upright in heart ^(F3)will follow it.

¹⁶ Who will ^(C1)stand up for me against evildoers?
Who will take his stand for me ^(C2)against those who do injustice?<
