Psalms 92:2-12 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

2. Thy loving-kindness to shew forthwhen shines the morning light;And to declare thy faithfulnesswith pleasure ev'ry night.

3. On a ten-stringed instrument,upon the psaltery,And on the harp with solemn sound,and grave sweet melody.

4. For thou, Lord, by thy mighty workshast made my heart right glad;And I will triumph in the workswhich by thine hands were made.

5. How great, Lord, are thy works! each thoughtof thine a deep it is:

6. A brutish man it knoweth not;fools understand not this.

7. When those that lewd and wicked arespring quickly up like grass,And workers of iniquitydo flourish all apace;It is that they for ever maydestroyed be and slain;

8. But thou, O Lord, art the most High,for ever to remain.

9. For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord,thine en'mies perish shall;The workers of iniquityshall be dispersed all.

10. But thou shalt, like unto the hornof th' unicorn, exaltMy horn on high: thou with fresh oilanoint me also shalt.

11. Mine eyes shall also my desiresee on mine enemies;Mine ears shall of the wicked hearthat do against me rise.

12. But like the palm-tree flourishingshall be the righteous one;He shall like to the cedar growthat is in Lebanon.
