Psalm 92
A psalm; a song; for the day of rest—a holy day.
1It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to make music to praise your name, O Most High.
2It is good to announce your mercy in the morning
and your faithfulness in the evening
3on a ten-stringed instrument and a harp
and with a melody on a lyre.
4You made me find joy in what you have done, O Lord.
I will sing joyfully about the works of your hands.
5How spectacular are your works, O Lord!
How very deep are your thoughts!
6A stupid person cannot know
and a fool cannot understand
7that wicked people sprout like grass
and all troublemakers blossom ⌞like flowers⌟,
only to be destroyed forever.
8But you, O Lord, are highly honored forever.
9Now look at your enemies, O Lord.
Now look at your enemies.
They disappear, and all troublemakers are scattered.
10But you make me as strong as a wild bull,
and soothing lotion is poured on me.
11My eyes gloat over those who spy on me.
My ears hear ⌞the cries⌟ of evildoers attacking me.
12Righteous people flourish like palm trees
and grow tall like the cedars in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the Lord’s house.
They blossom in our God’s courtyards.
14Even when they are old, they still bear fruit.
They are always healthy and fresh.
15They make it known that the Lord is decent.
He is my rock.
He is never unfair.

PSALM 92
A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.
1It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High; 2To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights, 3Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp. 4For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 5Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep: 6A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever. 8And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore. 9For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 10But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 11And mine eye shall see its desire on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear it of the evil-doers that rise up against me. 12The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon. 13Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God#GodHebrew: Elohim 14They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green; 15To shew that Jehovah is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
