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.

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

To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.

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

On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with 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 You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning the works of Your hands.

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

How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.

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

A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not 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 flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!

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

And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.

9 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and 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 shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.

And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been 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 looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.

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

The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as 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.

Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.

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

Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,

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

To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
