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. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
2 To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp.
On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with 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 hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot understand this.
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not 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 flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
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, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10 But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am anointed with fresh oil.
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been 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.
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14 They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
