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 Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:

2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.

to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,

3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.

upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.

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 delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.

5 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.

How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.

6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —

A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:

7 When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!

when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.

8 And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.

But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.

9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.

For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.

10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.

And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.

11 And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.

And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.

12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.

The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.

13 Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.

Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

14 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,

They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,

15 To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!

so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
