Psalms 92 Comparison: Geneva Bible 1599 vs King James Version
Psalms 92
1A Psalme or song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to praise the Lord, and to sing vnto thy Name, O most High,
2To declare thy louing kindenesse in the morning, and thy trueth in the night,
3Vpon an instrument of tenne strings, and vpon the viole with the song vpon the harpe.
4For thou, Lord, hast made mee glad by thy workes, and I wil reioyce in the workes of thine handes.
5O Lord, how glorious are thy workes! and thy thoughtes are very deepe.
6An vnwise man knoweth it not, and a foole doeth not vnderstand this,
7(When the wicked growe as the grasse, and all the workers of wickednesse doe flourish) that they shall be destroyed for euer.
8But thou, O Lord, art most High for euermore.
9For loe, thine enemies, O Lord: for loe, thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquitie shall be destroyed.
10But thou shalt exalt mine horne, like the vnicornes, and I shalbe anoynted with fresh oyle.
11Mine eye also shall see my desire against mine enemies: and mine eares shall heare my wish against the wicked, that rise vp against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like a palme tree, and shall grow like a Cedar in Lebanon.
13Such as bee planted in the house of the Lord, shall flourish in the courtes of our God.
14They shall still bring foorth fruite in their age: they shall be fat and flourishing,
15To declare that the Lord my rocke is righteous, and that none iniquitie is in him.
Psalms 92
1It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5O Lord, how great are thy works! and 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, Lord, art most high for evermore.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15To shew that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
