< 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 of a canticle on the sabbath day. It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.
2 To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.
4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
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 the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:
8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
9 For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful 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.
My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.
13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall 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 shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,
15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
