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 Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:

2 To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.

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 delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.

5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:

How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will 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.

when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.

8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.

9 For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.

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.

And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.

12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.

The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.

13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:

Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;

They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,

15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
