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 a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to your name, Most High,
2 to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,
to proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
3 to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.
with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
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 you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds of your hands.
5 Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!
How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:
A brutish person does not know, nor does a fool understand this:
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 sprout like the grass, and even when all the evildoers thrive, still they are doomed to eternal destruction.
8 But you, Lord, rule on high forever.
But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
9 Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!
Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will be scattered.
10 But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.
You have lifted up my horn like the horn of the wild ox; I am 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.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard of the doom of my evil foes.
12 Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.
They are planted in the house of Yahweh; they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.
They bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
15 They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”
to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
