Psalms 92
Easy-to-Read Version, 2006
- 1It is good to praise the LORD. God Most High, it is good to praise your name.
- 2It is good to sing about your love in the morning and about your faithfulness at night.
- 3It is good to play for you on the ten-stringed instrument and lyre and to add the soft sounds of the harp to my praise.
- 4LORD, you make us very happy because of what you did. I gladly sing about it.
- 5LORD, you did such great things. Your thoughts are too hard for us to understand.
- 6Stupid people don’t know this. Fools don’t understand.
- 7The wicked may sprout like grass, and those who do evil may blossom like flowers, but they will be destroyed, never to be seen again.
- 8But, LORD, you will be honored forever.
- 9LORD, all your enemies will be destroyed, and all who do evil will be scattered.
- 10But you have made me as strong as a wild ox. You have given me your blessing.[1]
- 11My eyes will see the defeat of those waiting to attack me. My ears will hear the cries of my evil enemies.
- 12Good people are like budding palm trees. They grow strong like the cedar trees of Lebanon.
- 13They are planted in the house[2] of the LORD. They grow strong there in the courtyards of our God.
- 14Even when they are old, they will continue producing fruit like young, healthy trees.
- 15They are there to show everyone that the LORD is good.[3] He is my Rock, and he does no wrong.[4]
