< 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 to the LORD, and to sing praises to thy name, O most High:
2 To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
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 triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not understand this—
A stupid 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 as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
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 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 the horn of an unicorn: 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.
My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked 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.
Those that are planted in the house of the LORD 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 fat and flourishing;
15 To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
