< Psalms 92 >

1 “A psalm or song for the sabbath day.” It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:
A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
2 To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.
To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp.
With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.
4 For thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.
How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot understand this.
A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:
7 When the wicked spring up like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.
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.
8 But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!
But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9 For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.
For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 And my eye looketh on [the punishment of] those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it.
Mine eye also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.
They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:
15 To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
