¹(92) A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;

¹He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

²to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,

²I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

³on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

³Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

⁴For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.

⁴He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

⁵How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.

⁵Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

⁶A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

⁶Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

⁷When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

⁷A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

⁸But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.

⁸Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

⁹For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

⁹Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

¹⁰But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and my old age with rich mercy.

¹⁰There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

¹¹And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

¹¹For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

¹²The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

¹²They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

¹³They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹³Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

¹⁴Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

¹⁴Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

¹⁵that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

¹⁵He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
