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 for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!
2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!
5 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!
6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.
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 wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!
8 And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!
9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!
10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.
12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;
13 Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;
15 To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
