Psalms 92 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 92
1It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
2To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.
4For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:
7When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.
8But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also hath seen my desireon mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:
15To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Psalms 92
1It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
3with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
6A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
7that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
9For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
11My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.
12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
15to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
