Psalms 92

1 A PSALM. A SONG FOR THE SABBATH DAY. [It is] good to give thanks to YHWH, And to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High,

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody to your name, O Most High;

2 To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.

To make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;

3 On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.

On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.

4 For You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning the works of Your hands.

For you, O Lord, have made me glad through your work; I will have joy in the works of your hands.

5 How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.

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

6 A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not understand this—

A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.

7 When the wicked flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!

When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

8 And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.

But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.

9 For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.

For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;

10 And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil.

But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.

11 And my eye looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.

My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.

12 The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in Lebanon.

The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of Lebanon.

13 Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.

Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.

14 Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,

They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;

15 To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!

For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
