Ψαλμοί 92

1 ψαλμὸς ᾠδῆς εἰς τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ σαββάτου ἀγαθὸν τὸ ἐξομολογεῖσθαι τῷ κυρίῳ καὶ ψάλλειν τῷ ὀνόματί σου ὕψιστε

A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. How good it is to thank the Lord, to sing praises to you, Most High,

2 τοῦ ἀναγγέλλειν τὸ πρωὶ τὸ ἔλεός σου καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειάν σου κατὰ νύκτα

to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

3 ἐν δεκαχόρδῳ ψαλτηρίῳ μετ’ ᾠδῆς ἐν κιθάρᾳ

to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.

4 ὅτι εὔφρανάς με κύριε ἐν τῷ ποιήματί σου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν σου ἀγαλλιάσομαι

You've made me so happy, Lord, because of all you've done for me! I sing for joy at what you've done!

5 ὡς ἐμεγαλύνθη τὰ ἔργα σου κύριε σφόδρα ἐβαθύνθησαν οἱ διαλογισμοί σου

Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!

6 ἀνὴρ ἄφρων οὐ γνώσεται καὶ ἀσύνετος οὐ συνήσει ταῦτα

Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:

7 ἐν τῷ ἀνατεῖλαι τοὺς ἁμαρτωλοὺς ὡς χόρτον καὶ διέκυψαν πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν ὅπως ἂν ἐξολεθρευθῶσιν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος

even though the wicked grow up quickly like grass, and even though people who do evil flourish, they will be destroyed forever!

8 σὺ δὲ ὕψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα κύριε

But you, Lord, rule on high forever.

9 ὅτι ἰδοὺ οἱ ἐχθροί σου ἀπολοῦνται καὶ διασκορπισθήσονται πάντες οἱ ἐργαζόμενοι τὴν ἀνομίαν

Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!

10 καὶ ὑψωθήσεται ὡς μονοκέρωτος τὸ κέρας μου καὶ τὸ γῆράς μου ἐν ἐλαίῳ πίονι

But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.

11 καὶ ἐπεῖδεν ὁ ὀφθαλμός μου ἐν τοῖς ἐχθροῖς μου καὶ ἐν τοῖς ἐπανιστανομένοις ἐπ’ ἐμὲ πονηρευομένοις ἀκούσεται τὸ οὖς μου

My eyes look with pleasure to see my enemies defeated; my ears have heard the downfall of those who tried to attack me.

12 δίκαιος ὡς φοῖνιξ ἀνθήσει ὡσεὶ κέδρος ἡ ἐν τῷ Λιβάνῳ πληθυνθήσεται

Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

13 πεφυτευμένοι ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ κυρίου ἐν ταῖς αὐλαῖς τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν ἐξανθήσουσιν

They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.

14 ἔτι πληθυνθήσονται ἐν γήρει πίονι καὶ εὐπαθοῦντες ἔσονται

Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.

15 τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὅτι εὐθὴς κύριος ὁ θεός μου καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ

They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”
