Kenneth Copeland — The Lord is Good
Psalm 85:12
KJV—Yea, the Lord shall give that which is
good; and our land shall yield her increase.
Amp—Yes, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
Moffatt—Yes, the Eternal brings us bliss;
our land is yielding fruit.
NIV—The Lord will indeed give what is
good, and our land will yield its harvest.
Psalm 92:12-15
Amp—The [uncompromisingly] righteous
shall flourish like the palm tree [be longlived,
stately, upright, useful and fruitful]; he
shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic,
stable, durable and incorruptible]. Planted in
the house of the Lord, they shall flourish
in the courts of our God. [Growing in grace]
they shall still bring forth fruit in old age;
they shall be full of sap [of spiritual vitality]
and rich in the verdure [of trust, love and
contentment]. [They are living memorials] to
show that the Lord is upright and faithful
to His promises; He is my rock, and there is
no unrighteousness in Him.
NIV—The righteous will flourish like a
palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of
Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age, they will
stay fresh and green, proclaiming, “The Lord
is upright; he is my Rock, and there is no
wickedness in him.”
Psalm 115:11-16
Amp—You who (reverently) fear the Lord,
trust and lean on the Lord! He is their help
and their shield. The Lord has been mindful
of us; He will bless us; He will bless the
house of Israel; He will bless the house of
Aaron [the priesthood]. He will bless those
who reverently and worshipfully fear the
Lord, both small and great. The Lord give
you increase more and more, you and your
children. Blessed be you of the Lord, Who
made Heaven and earth! The heavens are
the Lord’s heavens, but the earth has He
given to the children of men.
Moffatt—The Eternal’s worshippers trust in
the Eternal; he is their shield and succour.
The Eternal remembers us, and he will bless
us, he will bless Israel and Aaron’s household,
he will bless his worshippers, both high
and low alike. The Eternal will make you
increase, will multiply you and your children.
Your blessing comes from the Eternal, who
made heaven and earth, the heaven that
the Eternal holds himself, the earth he has
assigned to men.
Psalm 145:8-9
Amp—The Lord is gracious and full of
compassion, slow to anger and abounding in
mercy and loving-kindness. The Lord is
good to all, and His tender mercies are over
all His works—the entirety of things created.
Moffatt—The Eternal is gracious and pitiful,
slow to be angry, very kind; the Eternal is
good to all who look to him, and his compassion
covers all that he has made.
