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 for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!

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

To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

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

Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.

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

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!

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

How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!

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

But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.

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 spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!

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

Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

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

For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!

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

But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.

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

Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.

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

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;

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

Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

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

Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;

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

To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
