< Psalms 92 >

1 A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto 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 shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
3 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.
On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
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! thy thoughts are very deep.
How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this:
A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not understand this—
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall 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 But thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.
And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.
10 But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: 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 also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
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: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They that are planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and green:
Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
15 To shew that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
