< 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 a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to your name, Most High,
2 to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,
to proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
3 on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.
For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds of your hands.
5 How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.
How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
A brutish person does not know, nor 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.
When the wicked sprout like the grass, and even when all the evildoers thrive, still they are doomed to eternal destruction.
8 But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.
But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
9 For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will be scattered.
10 But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
You have lifted up my horn like the horn 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 eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard of the doom of my evil foes.
12 The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; they 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 the house of Yahweh; they 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 bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
15 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
