< 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 your name, O you Most High;
A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;
2 to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,
To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
3 on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.
Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
6 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
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.
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.
And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9 For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
14 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
