Psalms 92
1 “A psalm 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!
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,
2 To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
3 Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!
For You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning the works of Your hands.
5 How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!
How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
6 But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.
A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not understand this—
7 When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!
When the wicked flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!
8 Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!
And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
9 For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!
For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.
10 But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.
And my eye looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;
The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
14 Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;
Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
15 To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
