Psalms 92:1-14 ▼

1 A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to YHWH, and to sing praise to Your name, O Most High,

2 to declare in the morning Your loving devotion, and Your faithfulness in the nights,

3 on ten strings and on the harp, with a melody of the lyre.

4 For You have made me glad, O YHWH, by Your work; at the works of Your hands I shout for joy.

5 How great are Your works, O YHWH, how very deep Your thoughts!

6 A stupid man does not know, and a fool cannot understand this:

7 The wicked sprout like grass, and all the workers of iniquity blossom, to be destroyed forever and ever!

8 And You are on high forever, O YHWH!

9 For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH—for behold, Your enemies will perish; all the workers of iniquity will be scattered!

10 But You have lifted high my horn like that of a wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil.

11 And my eye has looked on my enemies; of those rising up against me, those doing evil, my ears hear.

12 The righteous one will sprout like a palm tree; like a cedar in Lebanon he will grow.

13 Those planted in the house of YHWH, in the courts of our God, they will sprout.

14 Still bearing fruit in old age, they will remain fat and flourishing—
