< Psalms 92 >

1 A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto 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 thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for 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, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!
9 For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.
12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.
The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;
13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:
Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;
15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
