< 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, 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,
2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
to proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
4 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds of your hands.
5 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
How great are your deeds, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
A brutish person does not know, nor 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!
When the wicked sprout like the grass, and even when all the evildoers thrive, still they are doomed to eternal destruction.
8 And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will be scattered.
10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
You have lifted up my horn like the horn 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 eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard of the doom of my evil foes.
12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; they 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 the house of Yahweh; they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
They bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh and green,
15 To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
to proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
