Psalm 92

A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day.

¹ It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High; ² to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night, ³ on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp. ⁴ For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.

⁵ How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep. ⁶ A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this. ⁷ When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity ¹have watched; it is that they may be utterly destroyed for ever. ⁸ But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.

^{9 2}For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. ¹⁰ But my horn shall be exalted as the horn of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich ³mercy. ¹¹ And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

¹² The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus. ¹³ They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. ¹⁴ Then shall they be increased in a ⁴fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare ¹⁵ that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

Psalm 93

For ⁵the day before the Sabbath, when the land was first inhabited, the praise of a Song by David.

¹ The Lord reigns; he has clothed himself with honour: the Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength; for he has established the world, which shall not be moved. ² Thy throne is prepared of old: thou art from everlasting. ³ The rivers have lifted up, O Lord, the rivers have lifted up their voices,⁶⁴ at ⁷the voices of many waters: the billows of the sea are wonderful: the Lord is wonderful in high places. ⁵ Thy testimonies are made very sure: holiness becomes thine house, O Lord, ⁸for ever.
