< Psalms 92 >
1 [A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.] It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High;
A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 How great are your works, LORD. Your thoughts are very deep.
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 But you, LORD, are on high forevermore.
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
9 For, look, your enemies, LORD, for, look, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 They are planted in the LORD's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14 They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 to show that the LORD is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
