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 or 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:

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

To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.

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

Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp.

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

For thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.

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

How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.

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

A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot 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 up like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.

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

But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

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

For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.

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

But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am 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.

And my eye looketh on [the punishment of] those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it.

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

The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.

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

Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.

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

They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;

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

To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
