Psalms 92

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto Yhwh, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

A Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;

2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;

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

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

4 For thou, Yhwh, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

5 O Yhwh, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.

How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!

6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

8 But thou, Yhwh, art most high for evermore.

But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.

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

For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;

13 Those that be planted in the house of Yhwh shall flourish in the courts of our God.

They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

15 To shew that Yhwh is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
