Psalms 92

1 A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody 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 make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

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

3 On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

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 through your work; I will have joy in 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 O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

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

6 A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.

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

7 When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

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 on high for ever.

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

9 For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;

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

10 But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.

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

11 My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

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

12 The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

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

13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

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

14 They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

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

15 For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.

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