Psalms 92

1 A Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;

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

2 To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;

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

3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.

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

4 For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.

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

5 How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!

How great are your works, YHWH. Your thoughts are very deep.

6 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —

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

7 When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.

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

8 But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.

But you, YHWH, are on high forevermore.

9 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;

For, look, your enemies, YHWH, for, look, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.

10 But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, 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 So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.

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

12 The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;

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

13 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;

They are planted in YHWH's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.

14 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:

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

15 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.

to show that YHWH is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
