< Psalms 92 >

1 A psalm, a song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh and to sing praises to your name, Most High,
A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;
2 to proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
3 with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds of your hands.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
6 A brutish person does not know, nor does a fool understand this:
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
7 When the wicked sprout like the grass, and even when all the evildoers thrive, still they are doomed to eternal destruction.
When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9 Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will be scattered.
For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 You have lifted up my horn like the horn of the wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard of the doom of my evil foes.
And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12 The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of Yahweh; they flourish in the courts of our God.
Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
14 They bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
15 to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
