< Psalms 92 >
1 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;
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,
2 To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.
8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!
9 For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.
11 And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.
12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,
15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
