Psalms 92

1 [A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.] It is a good thing to give thanks to YHWH, to sing praises to your name, 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 proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;

3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

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

4 For you, YHWH, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in 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 are your works, YHWH. Your thoughts are very deep.

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

6 A senseless man doesn't know, neither does a fool understand this:

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

7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

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 But you, YHWH, are on high forevermore.

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

9 For, look, your enemies, YHWH, for, look, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

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

10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, 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.

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

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

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

13 They are planted in YHWH's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

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

14 They will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

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

15 to show that YHWH is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

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