Psalm 92

International Children’s Bible

Thanksgiving for God’s Goodness

A song for the Sabbath day.

92 It is good to praise the Lord,
    to sing praises to God Most High.
²It is good to tell of your love in the morning
    and of your loyalty at night.
³It is good to praise you with the ten-stringed lyre
    and with the soft-sounding harp.

⁴Lord, you have made me happy by what you have done.
    I will sing for joy about what your hands have done.
⁵Lord, you have done such great things!
    How deep are your thoughts!
⁶Stupid people don’t know these things.
    Fools don’t understand.
⁷Wicked people grow like the grass.
    Evil people seem to do well.
    But they will be destroyed forever.
⁸But, Lord, you will be honored forever.

⁹Lord, surely your enemies,
    surely your enemies will be destroyed.
    All who do evil will be scattered.
¹⁰But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.
    You have poured fine oils on me.
¹¹When I looked, I saw my enemies.
    I heard the cries of those who are against me.

¹²But good people will grow like palm trees.
    They will be tall like the cedar trees of Lebanon.
¹³They will be like trees planted in the courtyards of the Lord.
    They will grow strong in the courtyards of our God.
¹⁴When they are old, they will still produce fruit.
    They will be healthy and fresh.
¹⁵They will say that the Lord is good.
    He is my Rock, and there is no wrong in him.
