Bible Reading: Psalm 92

A psalm. A song to be sung on the Sabbath Day.

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,     to sing praises to the Most High. ² It is good to proclaim your unfailing love in the morning,     your faithfulness in the evening, ³ accompanied by a ten-stringed instrument, a harp,     and the melody of a lyre.

⁴ You thrill me, Lord, with all you have done for me!     I sing for joy because of what you have done. ⁵ O Lord, what great works you do!     And how deep are your thoughts. ⁶ Only a simpleton would not know,     and only a fool would not understand this: ⁷ Though the wicked sprout like weeds     and evildoers flourish,     they will be destroyed forever.

⁸ But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever. ⁹ Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;     all evildoers will be scattered. ¹⁰ But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.     You have anointed me with the finest oil. ¹¹ My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;     my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents. ¹² But the godly will flourish like palm trees     and grow strong like the cedars of Lebanon. ¹³ For they are transplanted to the Lord’s own house.     They flourish in the courts of our God. ¹⁴ Even in old age they will still produce fruit;     they will remain vital and green. ¹⁵ They will declare, “The Lord is just!     He is my rock!     There is no evil in him!”
