92:2 It is fitting to proclaim your loyal love <02617> in the morning <01242>, and your faithfulness <0530> during the night <03915>, 92:3 to <05921> the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument <06218> and a lyre <05035>, to <05921> the accompaniment of the meditative tone <01902> of the harp <03658>. 92:4 For <03588> you, O Lord <03068>, have made me happy <08055> by your work <06467>. I will sing <07442> for joy because of what you have done <03027> <04639>. 92:5 How <04100> great <01431> are your works <04639>, O Lord <03068>! Your plans <04284> are very <03966> intricate <06009>! 92:6 The spiritually insensitive <01198> <0376> do not <03808> recognize <03045> this; the fool <03684> does not <03808> understand <0995> this <02063>. 92:7 When the wicked <07563> sprout up <06524> like <03644> grass <06212>, and all <03605> the evildoers <0205> <06466> glisten <06692>, it is so that they may be annihilated <05704> <05703> <08045>. 92:8 But you <0859>, O Lord <03068>, reign <04791> forever <05769>! 92:9 Indeed <03588>, look <02009> at your enemies <0341>, O Lord <03068>! Indeed <03588>, look <02009> at how your enemies <0341> perish <06>! All <03605> the evildoers <0205> <06466> are scattered <06504>! 92:10 You exalt <07311> my horn <07161> like that of a wild ox <07214>. I am covered <01101> with fresh <07488> oil <08081>. 92:11 I gloat <05869> <05027> in triumph over those who tried to ambush me <07790>; I hear <08085> the defeated cries of the evil foes <07489> who attacked <05921> <06965> me. 92:12 The godly <06662> grow <06524> like a palm tree <08558>; they grow <07685> high like a cedar <0730> in Lebanon <03844>. 92:13 Planted <08362> in the Lord’s <03068> house <01004>, they grow <06524> in the courts <02691> of our God <0430>. 92:14 They bear fruit <05107> even when <05750> they are old <07872>; they are <01961> filled with vitality <01879> and have many leaves <07488>. 92:15 So they proclaim <05046> that <03588> the Lord <03068>, my protector <06697>, is just <03477> and never <03808> unfair <05766>.

• [Psa 92:5] O Lord My God! How Great Art Thou!

  O Lord my God! how great art Thou! With honor and with glory crowned; Light’s dazzling splendors veil Thy brow, And gird the universe around. Spirits and angels Thou hast made; Thy ministers a flaming fire; By Thee were earth’s foundations laid; At Thy rebuke the floods retire. Thine are the fountains of the deep; By Thee their waters swell or fail; Up to the mountain’s summit creep, Or shrink beneath the lowly vale. Thy fingers mark their utmost found; That bound the waters may not pass; Their moisture swells the teeming ground, And paints the valleys o’er with grass. The waving harvest, Lord, is Thine; The vineyard, and the olive’s juice; Corn, wine, and oil, by Thee combine, Life, gladness, beauty, produce. The moon for seasons Thou hast made, The sun for change of day and night; Of darkness Thine the deepest shade, And Thine the day’s meridian light. O Lord, Thy works are all divine; In wisdom hast Thou made them all; Earth’s teeming multitudes are Thine; Thine—peopled ocean’s great and small. All these on Thee for life depend; Thy Spirit speaks, and they are born; They gather what Thy bounties send; Thy hand of plenty fills the horn. Thy face is hidden—they turn pale, With terror quake, with anguish burn; Their breath Thou givest to the gale; They die, and to their dust return. And Thou, my soul, with pure delight, Thy voice to bless thy Maker raise; His praise let morning sing to night, And night to morn repeat His praise.

• [Psa 92:12] Sweeter As The Years Go By

  Of Jesus’ love that sought me, when I was lost in sin; Of wondrous grace that brought me back to His fold again; Of heights and depths of mercy, far deeper than the sea, And higher than the heavens, my theme shall ever be. Refrain Sweeter as the years go by, sweeter as the years go by, Richer, fuller, deeper, Jesus’ love is sweeter, Sweeter as the years go by. He trod in old Judea life’s pathway long ago; The people thronged about Him, His saving grace to know; He healed the broken hearted, and caused the blind to see; And still His great heart yearneth in love for even me. Refrain ’Twas wondrous love which led Him for us to suffer loss, To bear without a murmur the anguish of the cross; With saints redeemed in glory, let us our voices raise, Till Heav’n and earth re-echo with our Redeemer’s praise.
