Psalm 92, the only Psalm in the Bible designated for the Sabbath, opens with a declaration as direct as any in Scripture: it is good to give thanks to the LORD.

Full sung version coming soon.

Lyrics

It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD To sing praises to your name, Most High

To proclaim your loving kindness in the morning And your faithfulness every night With the ten-stringed lute and the harp And the melody of the lyre

For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work I will triumph in the works of your hands

How great are your works, LORD Your thoughts are very deep A senseless man doesn’t know Neither does a fool understand this

Though the wicked spring up as the grass And all the evildoers flourish They will be destroyed forever But you, LORD, are on high forever more

For behold, your enemies, LORD Your enemies shall perish All the evildoers will be scattered

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox I am anointed with fresh oil My eye has also seen my enemies My ears have heard the wicked enemies who rise up against me

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon They are planted in the LORD’s house They will flourish in our God’s courts

They will still produce fruit in old age They will be full of sap and green To show that the LORD is upright He is my rock
