Psalms 92

1 A Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;

A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. How good it is to thank the Lord, to sing praises to you, Most High,

2 To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;

to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.

4 For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

You've made me so happy, Lord, because of all you've done for me! I sing for joy at what you've done!

5 How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!

Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!

6 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —

Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:

7 When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

even though the wicked grow up quickly like grass, and even though people who do evil flourish, they will be destroyed forever!

8 But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.

But you, Lord, rule on high forever.

9 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;

Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!

10 But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.

But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.

11 So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

My eyes look with pleasure to see my enemies defeated; my ears have heard the downfall of those who tried to attack me.

12 The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;

Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

13 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.

14 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.

15 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.

They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”
