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. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,

2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy 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 psaltery, 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 Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.

5 How great are thy works, O LORD! thy thoughts are very deep.

How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this:

A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not 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 a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

8 But thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.

And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

10 But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.

And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, 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 mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.

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 Jehovah, In the courts of our God do 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, Fat and flourishing are they,

15 To shew that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
