< 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 give thanks to YHWH, 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 declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning the works of Your hands.
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not 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 flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!
8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
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 YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been 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 looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in 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 YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
