< 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. [It is] good to give thanks to YHWH, And to sing praises to Your Name, O Most High,
2 To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;
To declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.
On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with 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 You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning the works of Your hands.
5 How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!
How great Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
6 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —
A brutish man does not know, And a fool does not 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 flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!
8 But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.
And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
9 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;
For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.
10 But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.
And You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been 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 looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
12 The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;
The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;
Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
14 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:
Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
15 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
To declare that YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
