Psalm 92 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 778 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 First Line: Sweet is the work, my God, my King Lyrics:
Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise thy name, give thanks and sing,
To show thy love by morning light,
And talk of all thy truth at night.
Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
No mortal cares shall seize my breast;
O may my heart in tune be found,
Like David's harp of solemn sound!
My heart shall triumph in my Lord,
And bless his works, and bless his word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine!
How deep thy counsels! how divine!
Fools never raise their thoughts so high;
Like brutes they live, like brutes they die;
Like grass they flourish, till thy breath
Blast them in everlasting death.
But I shall share a glorious part
When grace hath well refined my heart;
And fresh supplies of joy are shed,
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.
Sin (my worst enemy before)
Shall vex my eyes and ears no more;
My inward foes shall all be slain,
Nor Satan break my peace again.
Then shall I see, and hear, and know
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy.

Psalm 92 Part 1
It Is Good to Sing Your Praises
Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics:
1 It is good to sing your praises
and to thank you, O Most High,
showing forth your loving-kindness
when the morning lights the sky.
It is good when night is falling
of your faithfulness to tell,
while with sweet, melodious praises
songs of adoration swell.
2 You have filled my heart with gladness
through the works your hands have wrought;
you have made my life victorious;
great your works and deep your thought.
You, O LORD, on high exalted,
reign forevermore in might;
all your enemies shall perish,
sin be banished from your sight.
3 But the good shall live before you,
planted in your dwelling place,
fruitful trees and ever verdant,
nourished by your boundless grace.
In his goodness to the righteous
God his righteousness displays;
God, my rock, my strength and refuge,
just and true are all your ways.

Psalm 92 Part 2
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92:12-15 First Line: Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand Lyrics:
Lord, 'tis a pleasant thing to stand
In gardens planted by thine hand;
Let me within thy courts be seen,
Like a young cedar, fresh and green.
There grow thy saints in faith and love,
Blest with thine influence from above;
Not Lebanon with all its trees
Yields such a comely sight as these.
The plants of grace shall ever live;
(Nature decays, but grace must thrive;)
Time, that doth all things else impair,
Still makes them flourish strong and fair.
Laden with fruits of age, they show
The Lord is holy, just, and true;
None that attend his gates shall find
A God unfaithful or unkind.

Psalm 92: To render thanks unto the Lord
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 30 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 First Line: To render thanks unto the Lord Lyrics:
1To render thanks unto the Lord
it is a comely thing,
And to thy name, O thou most High,
due praise aloud to sing.
2Thy loving-kindness to shew forth
when shines the morning light;
And to declare thy faithfulness
with pleasure ev’ry night.
3On a ten-stringed instrument,
upon the psaltery,
And on the harp with solemn sound,
and grave sweet melody.
4For thou, Lord, by thy mighty works
hast made my heart right glad;
And I will triumph in the works
which by thine hands were made.
5How great, Lord, are thy works! each thought
of thine a deep it is:
6A brutish man it knoweth not;
fools understand not this.
7When those that lewd and wicked are
spring quickly up like grass,
And workers of iniquity
do flourish all apace;
It is that they for ever may
destroyed be and slain;
8But thou, O Lord, art the most High,
for ever to remain.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord,
thine en’mies perish shall;
The workers of iniquity
shall be dispersed all.
10But thou shalt, like unto the horn
of th’ unicorn, exalt
My horn on high: thou with fresh oil
anoint me also shalt.
11Mine eyes shall also my desire
see on mine enemies;
Mine ears shall of the wicked hear
that do against me rise.
12But like the palm-tree flourishing
shall be the righteous one;
He shall like to the cedar grow
that is in Lebanon.
13Those that within the house of God
are planted by his grace,
They shall grow up, and flourish all
in our God’s holy place.
14And in old age, when others fade,
they fruit still forth shall bring;
They shall be fat, and full of sap,
and aye be flourishing;
15To shew that upright is the Lord:
he is a rock to me;
And he from all unrighteousness
is altogether free.

How Good It Is to Thank the LORD
Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1 How good it is to thank the LORD,
to praise your name with tuneful chord,
to show your love with morning light
and tell your faithfulness each night.
Yes, it is good your praise to sing
and all our sweetest music bring.
2 O LORD, my song with joy expands
before the wonders of your hands.
How great the works that you have wrought;
how deep, O LORD, your every thought!
You make me glad; I sing your praise
for all your wondrous works and ways.
3 Though as the grass the wicked grow,
those evildoers do not know
the endless ruin they will see.
But God will reign eternally.
All foes will fall before his might;
the wicked shall be put to flight.
4 O LORD, you have exalted me
with royal strength and dignity.
With your anointing I am blest;
your grace and favor on me rest.
My eyes have seen the wicked die;
my ears have heard their hopeless cry.
5 The righteous all will flourish well
and in the house of God will dwell.
They will be planted like a tree,
will still in old age fruitful be.
The LORD our God is upright, just;
he is my Rock; in him I trust.

Thou who art enthroned above
How good and pleasant must it be
Appears in 16 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 Lyrics: 1 How good and pleasant must it be
to thank the Lord most high;
And with repeated Hymns of Praise,
his Name to magnify.
2 With ev'ry Morning's early Dawn,
his Goodness to relate;
And of his constant Truth, each Night
the glad Effects repeat.
3 To ten-string'd Instruments we'll sing,
with tuneful Psalt'ries join'd,
And to the Harp, with solemn Sounds,
for sacred Use design'd
4 For thro' thy wondrous Works, O Lord,
Thou mak'st my Heart rejoice;
The Thoughts of them shall make me glad,
and shout with chearful Voice.
5,6 How wond'rous are thy Works, O Lord!
how deep are thy Decrees!
Whose winding Tracks, in secret laid,
no stupid Sinner sees.
7 He little thinks, when wicked Men,
like Grass, look fresh and gay;
How soon their short-liv'd Splendor must
for ever pass away.
8,9 But Thou, my God, art still most High;
and all thy lofty Foes,
Who thought they might securely sin,
shall be o'erwhelm'd with Woes.
10 Whilst Thou exalt'st my sov'reign Pow'r,
and mak'st it largely spread;
And with refreshing Oil anoint'st
my consecrated Head.
11 I soon shall see my stubborn Foes
to utter Ruin brought;
And hear the dismal End of those,
who have against me fought.
12 But righteous Men, like fruitful Palms,
shall make a glorious Show;
As Cedars that on Lebanon
in stately Order grow.
13,14 These, planted in the House of God,
within his Courts shall thrive;
Their Vigour and their Lustre both
shall in old Age revive.
15 Thus will the Lord his Justice shew;
and God, my strong Defence,
Shall due Rewards to all the World
impartially dispense.
How good and pleasant must it be
A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath Day
Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 First Line: To thee, Jehovah, thanks to give Lyrics: 1 To Thee, JEHOVAH, thanks to give,
It is a comely thing;
And to thy Name, O Thou most High,
loud hymns of praise to sing.
2 Thy loving-kindness forth to show
in early morning light:
And to declare thy faithfulness
with pleasure every night.
3 Upon the ten string'd instrment,
and pleasant psaltery;
Upon the harp with solemn sound,
and high rais'd melody.
4 For Thou JEHOVAH thro' thy work
Hast made me to rejoyce;
And in thy handy-work will I
triumph with joyful voice.
5 How wondrous are thy works, O LORD!
how deep are thy decrees!
6 The stupid understand not this,
nor foolish sinner sees;
7 When sinners spring as grass, and those
who work iniquity
Do flourish; 'tis that they may be
destroy'd eternally.
8 But Thou, O LORD, as sov'reign Judge,
for ever shalt remain;
And Thou, most high, ev'n over all
For evermore shalt reign.
9 For lo thy many foes, O LORD,
thy foes shall quite decay;
And all who work iniquity
shall be dispers'd away.
10 My horn of pow'r, as unicorns,
Thou wilt exalt on high;
And with fresh oyl, from time to time,
anointed be shall I:
11 The downfall of my spiteful foes,
mine eyes shall see: mine ear
Of ill men who against me rise
the fall shall also hear.
[3 Part]
12 But like the palm tree flourishing,
shall be the righteous one;
He shall be like the cedar tree
that grows on Lebanon.
13 They that within JEHOVAH's house
happily planted are,
Within the court-yards of our God
shall greatly flourish there.
14 Their fruit they shall when they are grey,
continue forth to bring;
They shall in fatness grow, and they
shall still be flourishing.
15 To show JEHOVAH upright is;
He is a rock to me;
And that He from unrighteousness
is altogether free.

Bonum est
Author: J. H. Appears in 2 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 92 First Line: It is a thing both good and meet Lyrics: 1 It is a thing both good and meet
to praise the highest Lord:
And to thy Name, O thou most High,
to sing with one accord.
2 To shew the kindnesse of the Lord,
betime ere day be light:
And eke declare his truth abroad,
when it doth draw to night.
3 On a ten stringed instruments,
on Lute and Harp so sweet:
With all the mirth you can invent,
of instruments most meet.
4 For thou hast made me to rejoyce,
in things so wrought by thee:
And I have joy in heart and voice,
thy handy-works to see.
5 O Lord, how glorious and how great,
are all thy works so stout!
So deeply are thy counsels set,
that none can trie them out.
6 The man unwise hath not the wit,
these things to passe to bring:
And all such fooles are nothing fit,
to understand this thing.
7 When so the wicked at their will,
as grasse do spring full fast:
They when they flourish in their ill,
for ever shall be wast.
8 But thou art mighty Lord most High,
and thou dost raigne therefore,
In every time eternally,
both now and evermore.
9 For why? O Lord, behold and see,
behold thy foes I say,
How all that work iniquity,
shall perish and decay.
10 But thou like as an Unicorn
shalt lift mine horne on hie"
With fresh and new prepared oyle
thine oynted King am I.
11 And of my foes before mine eyes
shall see the fall and shame
Of all that up against me rise,
mine eares shall heare the same.
12 The just shall flourish up on high,
as Date-trees bud and blow,
And as the Cedars multiply,
in Libanus that grow.
13 For they are planted in the place,
and dwelling of our God:
Within his courts they spring apace,
and flourish all abroad.
14 And in their age much fruit shal bring
both fat and well beseen
And pleasantly both bud and spring
with bowes and branches green.
15 To shew that God is good and just,
and upright in his will:
He is my rock, my hope, and trust,
in him there is none ill.
