< 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,
It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy Name, O most High:
2 to proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
To show forth your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
On an instrument of ten strings, and on the psaltery; on the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds of your hands.
For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work: I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5 How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
O LORD, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish person does not know, nor does a fool understand this:
A brutish man knows not; neither does a fool understand this.
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 do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
But you, LORD, are most high for ever more.
9 Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will be scattered.
For, see, your enemies, O LORD, for, see, your 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 shall you exalt like the horn of an unicorn: 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.
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 will flourish like the palm tree; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of Yahweh; they flourish in the courts of our God.
Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To show that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
