92:1
[Psalm Song For the Sabbath] It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, to make music for your name, Most High,
92:2
to proclaim your faithful love at daybreak, and your constancy all through the night,
92:3
on the lyre, the ten-stringed lyre, to the murmur of the harp.
92:4
You have brought me joy, Yahweh, by your deeds, at the work of your hands I cry out,
92:5
'How great are your works, Yahweh, immensely deep your thoughts!'
92:6
Stupid people cannot realise this, fools do not grasp it.
92:7
The wicked may sprout like weeds, and every evil-doer flourish, but only to be eternally destroyed;
92:8
whereas you are supreme for ever, Yahweh.
92:9
Look how your enemies perish, how all evil-doers are scattered!
92:10
You give me the strength of the wild ox, you anoint me with fresh oil;
92:11
I caught sight of the ambush against me, overheard the plans of the wicked.
92:12
The upright will flourish like the palm tree, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
92:13
Planted in the house of Yahweh, they will flourish in the courts of our God.
92:14
In old age they will still bear fruit, will remain fresh and green,
92:15
to proclaim Yahweh's integrity; my rock, in whom no fault can be found.
