Sermon Passage

Psalm 92 (ESV)

¹  It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
²  to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
³  to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.
⁴  For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
⁵  How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep!
⁶  The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
⁷  that though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
⁸  but you, O Lord, are on high forever.
⁹  For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be scattered.
¹⁰ But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
you have poured over me fresh oil.
¹¹ My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
¹² The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
¹⁵ to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
