< 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 a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to your name, Most High,
2 To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
to proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds of your hands.
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
A brutish person does not know, nor does a fool 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 sprout like the grass, and even when all the evildoers thrive, still they are doomed to eternal destruction.
8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
9 For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
You have lifted up my horn like the horn of the wild ox; 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.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard of the doom of my evil foes.
12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
They are planted in the house of Yahweh; they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
They bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
