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;
It is a good thing to yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, to sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name, Most High;
2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
to proclaim your chesed ·loving-kindness· in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the lyre's solemn higgayon (meditation)
4 For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
For you, Adonai, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5 How great are your works, LORD. Your thoughts are very deep.
How great are your works, Adonai! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:
A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool understand this:
7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all those who practice vain striving of iniquity flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8 But you, LORD, are on high forevermore.
But you, Adonai, are on high forever more.
9 For, look, your enemies, LORD, for, look, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
For, behold, your enemies, Adonai, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All those who practice vain striving of iniquity will be scattered.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am 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.
My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The upright shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the LORD's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.
They are planted in Adonai’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
14 They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
15 to show that the LORD is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
to show that Adonai is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
