Psalms 92

1 A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. How good it is to thank the Lord, to sing praises to you, Most High,

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;

2 to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

3 to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.

Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

4 You've made me so happy, Lord, because of all you've done for me! I sing for joy at what you've done!

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

5 Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!

Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:

6 Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:

A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

7 even though the wicked grow up quickly like grass, and even though people who do evil flourish, they will be destroyed forever!

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

8 But you, Lord, rule on high forever.

And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

9 Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!

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

10 But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.

But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 My eyes look with pleasure to see my enemies defeated; my ears have heard the downfall of those who tried to attack me.

And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12 Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.

13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.

Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:

14 Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.

They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;

15 They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”

To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
