< 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 YHWH, 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 shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon 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 thou, YHWH, 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.
O YHWH, how great are thy works! and 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 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 thou, YHWH, art most 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 YHWH, 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 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.
Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine 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 YHWH shall flourish in the courts of our Elohim.
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 shew that YHWH is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
