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 Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, 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, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;

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

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

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

For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

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

How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!

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

A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —

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

When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

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

But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.

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

For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;

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

But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

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

So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

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

The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;

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

They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

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

Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

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

To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
