Psalms 92 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 92
1It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;
2To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;
3On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.
4For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.
5O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
6A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.
7When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.
8But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.
9For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;
10But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.
11My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.
12The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.
13Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.
14They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;
15For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
Psalms 92
1It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, Most High;
2to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
4For you, Lord, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5How great are your works, Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.
6A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:
7though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8But you, Lord, are on high forevermore.
9For, behold, your enemies, Lord, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
11My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the Lord's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.
14They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
15to show that the Lord is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
