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 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 proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
To tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of 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 hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.
5 How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
How great are thy works, O Lord! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.
6 A brutish person does not know, nor does a fool understand this:
A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot 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 up like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.
8 But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!
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, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.
10 You have lifted up my horn like the horn of the wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil.
But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am 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 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 will flourish like the palm tree; they will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
The righteous shall spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.
13 They are planted in the house of Yahweh; they flourish in the courts of our God.
Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.
14 They bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
They shall still flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;
15 to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To declare that the Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
