Day 23: A Sabbath Psalm

Psalm 92

    A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

 ¹ It is good to praise the LORD
   and make music to your name, O Most High,
² to proclaim your love in the morning
   and your faithfulness at night,
³ to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
   and the melody of the harp.

 ⁴ For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; 

   I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
⁵ How great are your works, O LORD,
   how profound your thoughts!
⁶ The senseless man does not know,
   fools do not understand,
⁷ that though the wicked spring up like grass
   and all evildoers flourish,
they will be forever destroyed.

 ⁸ But you, O LORD, are exalted forever.

 ⁹ For surely your enemies, O LORD,
   surely your enemies will perish;
   all evildoers will be scattered.
¹⁰ You have exalted my horn^[a] like that of a wild ox;
   fine oils have been poured upon me.
¹¹ My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
   my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

 ¹² The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, 

   they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
¹³ planted in the house of the LORD,
   they will flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They will still bear fruit in old age,
   they will stay fresh and green,
¹⁵ proclaiming, “The LORD is upright;
   he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
