The Psalms 133


Psalm 92


It is good to give thanks to the LORD;
to sing praise to your name, Most High;
to announce your covenant love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
with a stringed instrument, with a guitar, with the sound of a harp.
LORD, you make me glad by what you have done,
I shout for joy at the works of your hands.

Your acts, LORD, are so great; your thoughts are so deep.
The brutish person cannot know; the fool can’t grasp this:
wrongdoers sprout like grass,
all who do evil blossom – only to face destruction for ever.
But you, LORD, are raised up high for ever.
Look at your enemies, LORD;
look at your enemies, they will perish;
all who do evil will be scattered.

But you have raised me up to be strong;
I am anointed with finest oil;
I will see off those who eye me;
my ears will hear the fate of the wrongdoers who rise up against me.

A righteous person will thrive like a palm tree,
growing like a cedar in Lebanon;
planted in the house of the LORD,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
In old age he will still produce fruit;
she will be strong and fresh declaring,
‘The LORD is upright, he is my rock;
there is no injustice in him.’
