Psalms 92:1-13 ▼

1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. 1 It is good to praise the LORD {YHWH}, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

2 to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

3 with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.

4 For You, O LORD {YHWH}, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

5 How great are Your works, O LORD {YHWH}, how deep are Your thoughts!

6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

7 that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

8 But You, O LORD {YHWH}, are exalted forever!

9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD {YHWH}, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

10 But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

11 My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes (my ears hear evildoers when they rise against me).

12 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon (whiteness).

13 Planted in the house of the LORD {YHWH}, they will flourish in the courts of our God {Elohenu}.
