Psalms 92

1 It is a good thing to give thanks to Jehovah, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High,

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

2 to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

3 with an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery, with a solemn sound upon the harp.

On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

4 For thou, Jehovah, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.

5 How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.

O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

6 A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.

A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed forever,

When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

8 but thou, O Jehovah, are on high for evermore.

But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;

10 But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,

But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.

11 and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evildoers who rise up against me.

My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

12 A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

13 Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green

They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

15 to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
