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. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, 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 declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy 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 psaltery, 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 Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not 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 a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 but thou, O Jehovah, are on high for evermore.
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
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 Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10 But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, 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 mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do 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, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
