Psalm 92
1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
1 It is a good thing to give | thanks un•to the | Lord, ||
and to sing | praises • unto thy | Name, • O Most | Highest; ||
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
2 To tell of thy loving-kindness | early • in the | morning, ||
3 and | of thy | truth • in the | night • season; ||
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, | and up•on the | lute; ||
upon a loud | instru•ment, | and up•on the | harp. ||
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
4 For thou, Lord, hast made me | glad • through thy | works; ||
and I will rejoice in giving praise for the oper- | ations | of thy | hands. ||
5 O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
5 O Lord, how | glorious • are thy | works! ||
thy | thoughts are | very | deep. ||
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
6 An unwise man doth not | well con- | sider • this, ||
and a | fool • doth not | under- | stand it. ||
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 ungodly are | 3 green as the | grass, ||
and when all the | 3 workers of | wicked•ness do | flourish, ||
then shall they be de- | stroyed for | ever; ||
but thou, Lord, art the Most | 3 Highest for | ever- | more. ||
8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.
8 For lo, thine enemies, O Lord, lo, thine | ene•mies shall | perish; ||
and all the workers of | wicked•ness shall | be de- | stroyed. ||
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
9 But my horn shall be exalted like the | horn • of an | uni•corn; ||
for I am a- | 3 nointed with | fresh | oil. ||
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
10 Mine eye also shall see his | lust • of mine | ene•mies, ||
and mine ear shall hear his desire of the | wicked • that a- | rise • up a- | gainst me. ||
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 The righteous shall | flourish • like a | palm-tree, ||
and shall spread a- | broad • like a | 3 cedar in | Leba•non. ||
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
12 Such as are planted in the | house • of the | Lord, ||
shall flourish in the | courts • of the | 3 house of our | God. ||
13 Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
13 They also shall bring forth more | 3 fruit in their | age, ||
3 and | shall be | fat and • well- | liking; ||
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
14 That they may show how true the | Lord my | strength is, ||
and that there is | no un- | righteous•ness in | him. ||
15 To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
About the Pointing
The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
