< 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 DAY. [It is] good to give thanks to YHWH, And to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High,
2 to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
3 with an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery, with a solemn sound upon the harp.
On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 For thou, Jehovah, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning the works of Your hands.
5 How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
6 A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.
A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not understand this—
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 wicked flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!
8 but thou, O Jehovah, are on high for evermore.
And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.
10 But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,
And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evildoers who rise up against me.
And my eye looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
12 A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green
Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
15 to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
