Psalms 92
1 A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High;
It is a good thing to yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, to sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name, Most High;
2 to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night,
to proclaim your chesed ·loving-kindness· in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the lyre's solemn higgayon (meditation)
4 For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult.
For you, Adonai, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5 How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep.
How great are your works, Adonai! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool understand this:
7 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all those who practice vain striving of iniquity flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8 But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever.
But you, Adonai, are on high forever more.
9 For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For, behold, your enemies, Adonai, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All those who practice vain striving of iniquity will be scattered.
10 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
The upright shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
They are planted in Adonai’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
14 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
to show that Adonai is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
