Psalms 92

1 IT IS A GOOD THING TO GIVE THANKS UNTO THE LORD, AND TO SING PRAISES UNTO Your NAME, O MOST HIGH:

A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,

2 To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

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

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

On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.

4 For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.

For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

5 O LORD, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.

How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

6 A brutish man knows not; neither does a fool understand this.

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not 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 wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

8 But you, LORD, are most high for evermore.

And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.

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

For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

10 But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn (ox): I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

And Thou exaltest as a reem 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.

And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

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

The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.

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

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

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

Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

15 To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

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