Psalms 92

1 It is a good thing to yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, to sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name, Most High;

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

2 to proclaim your chesed ·loving-kindness· in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the lyre's solemn higgayon (meditation)

with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.

4 For you, Adonai, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

5 How great are your works, Adonai! Your thoughts are very deep.

How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

6 A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool understand this:

A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all those who practice vain striving of iniquity flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

8 But you, Adonai, are on high forever more.

But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

9 For, behold, your enemies, Adonai, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All those who practice vain striving of iniquity will be scattered.

For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers 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 a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.

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

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 They are planted in Adonai’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

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

In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

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

to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
