< 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 Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, 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 declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.
4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern 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 lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.
9 For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, 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.
So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.
12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;
13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;
14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:
15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
