Psalm 92 (KJV): It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord

From Psalms

Psalm 92
(A psalm.  A song.  For the Sabbath day.)

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.

For I have come to learn what the psalmist says in psalm 92.  It is good to show thanks to the Lord.  It is not just good it is beautiful and sweet.

Thank you Lord for your gifts and your blessings.  Thank you for the fruit of your psalms, which give me strength and help me to live in your word.  I praise you for the day of sobriety that I have ahead of me.  I have people close to me whom I love, and who love me.  It is a sunny day with so much potential.  You make me glad through your work and the path you lay before me.  Help me to hear your word for me today so I can see and follow that path.  In this praise I hope to show you are upright and the power and the glory of your way of life.  You are my rock.

Praise be to God.

Thanks for letting me share.
