< 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 day. It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;
2 To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
3 On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
4 For You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning the works of Your hands.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
6 A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not understand this—
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
7 When the wicked flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9 For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.
For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 And my eye looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12 The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
13 Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
14 Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
15 To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
