< 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 give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;
2 to proclaim your chesed ·loving-kindness· in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the lyre's solemn higgayon (meditation)
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
4 For you, Adonai, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 How great are your works, Adonai! Your thoughts are very deep.
Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
6 A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool understand this:
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all those who practice vain striving of iniquity flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 But you, Adonai, are on high forever more.
And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9 For, behold, your enemies, Adonai, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All those who practice vain striving of iniquity will be scattered.
For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12 The upright shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
13 They are planted in Adonai’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
14 They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
15 to show that Adonai is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
