Psalms - Chapter 92
| The King James Version | Basic English Version (BBE) |
|
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: |
1 <A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath.> It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High; |
|
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, |
2 To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night; |
|
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. |
3 On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound. |
|
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. |
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands. |
|
5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. |
5 O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep. |
|
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. |
6 A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in. |
|
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: |
7 When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction. |
|
8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. |
8 But you, O Lord, are on high for ever. |
|
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. |
9 For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight; |
|
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. |
10 But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head. |
|
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. |
11 My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me. |
|
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. |
12 The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon. |
|
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. |
13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens. |
|
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; |
14 They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth; |
|
15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. |
15 For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him. |
