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 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:

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

To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.

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

Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of 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 hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.

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

How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.

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

A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot 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 like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.

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

But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

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

For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.

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

But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am anointed with fresh oil.

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

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.

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

The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.

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

Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.

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

They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;

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

To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
