Psalms 92

1 A psalm. A song; for the sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High,

2 to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,

3 with voice and a ten-stringed harp, with music that throbs on the lyre.

with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.

4 For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord, at the work of your hands I will ring out my joy.

For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.

5 How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts!

How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.

6 The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,

A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

7 that, though the wicked flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.

though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.

8 But you are exalted forever.

But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.

9 For see! Your enemies, Lord For see! Your enemies perish, all evildoers are scattered.

For behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

10 But you lift me to honour, and anoint me afresh with oil.

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 My eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.

My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

12 The righteous will sprout like the palm, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 In the house of the Lord are they planted, in the courts of our God they will sprout.

They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.

14 They will still bear fruit in old age, all sappy and fresh will they be

They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

15 So they proclaim the Lord to be just, my rock, in whom is no wrong.

to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
