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

To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.

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

On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.

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 caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

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

How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

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

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —

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

When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.

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

For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

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

And Thou exaltest as a reem 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.

And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

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

The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.

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

Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.

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

Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

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

To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
