< 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 or song for the sabbath day.” It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:
2 To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of 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 caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot understand this.
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 spring up like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.
8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!
9 For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am anointed with fresh oil.
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 looketh on [the punishment of] those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it.
12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.
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, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.
14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;
15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
