< 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 a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;
2 To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,
3 On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon 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, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.
5 How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
How great are Thy works, O LORD! 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 this.
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 up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
But Thou, O LORD, 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 LORD, 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 hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.
11 And my eye looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire 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 flourish like the palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;
15 To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
To declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
