Psalm 92:11-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
III
11 You have given me the strength of a wild ox;(A)
you have poured rich oil upon me.(B)
12 My eyes look with glee on my wicked enemies;
my ears shall hear what happens to my wicked foes.(C)
13 The just shall flourish like the palm tree,
shall grow like a cedar of Lebanon.(D)
14 [a]Planted in the house of the Lord,
they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
15 They shall bear fruit even in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
