Psalms 92

1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

A Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;

2 to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;

3 with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!

6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —

7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.

9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;

10 But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

11 My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.

So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;

13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

14 In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

15 to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”

To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
