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,
It is a good thing to yadah ·extend hands in thankful praise· to Adonai, to sing zahmar ·musical praise· to your name, Most High;
2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
to proclaim your chesed ·loving-kindness· in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the lyre's solemn higgayon (meditation)
4 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
For you, Adonai, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph 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, Adonai! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
A senseless man does not know, neither does a fool 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!
though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all those who practice vain striving of iniquity flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8 And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
But you, Adonai, are on high forever more.
9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
For, behold, your enemies, Adonai, for, behold, your enemies shall perish. All those who practice vain striving of iniquity will be scattered.
10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. 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.
My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have sh'ma ·heard obeyed· of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
The upright shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
They are planted in Adonai’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
14 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
15 To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
to show that Adonai is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
