Psalms 92

1 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.

It is a good thing to give thanks to Jehovah, and to sing praises to thy name, O Most High,

2 To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:

to show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.

with an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery, with a solemn sound upon the harp.

4 For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

For thou, Jehovah, have made me glad through thy work. I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

5 O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.

6 The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.

A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed forever,

8 But thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

but thou, O Jehovah, are on high for evermore.

9 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,

11 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.

and my eye has seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the evildoers who rise up against me.

12 The just shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

Men who are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: and shall be well treated,

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age. They shall be full of sap and green

15 That they may shew, That the Lord our God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

to show that Jehovah is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
