< 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;
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most High:
2 To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;
To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.
On an instrument of ten strings, and on the psaltery; on the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.
For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5 How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!
O LORD, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
6 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —
A brutish man knows not; neither does a fool 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.
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:
8 But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.
But you, LORD, are most high for ever more.
9 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;
For, see, your enemies, O LORD, for, see, your enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.
But my horn shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.
My eye also shall see my desire on my enemies, and my ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
