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 Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:

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

to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,

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

upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.

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 delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.

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

How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.

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

A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:

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

when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.

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

But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.

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

For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.

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

And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.

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

And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.

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

The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.

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

Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

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

They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,

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

so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
