< Psalms 92 >
1 A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;
2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,
3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
4 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.
5 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
7 When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
8 And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.
9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
11 And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
13 Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
15 To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
