Praise to the Lord for His Love and Faithfulness

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.

92 It is (A)good to give thanks to the Lord,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
To (B)declare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night,
(C)On an instrument of ten strings,
On the lute,
And on the harp,
With harmonious sound.
For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.

(D)O Lord, how great are Your works!
(E)Your thoughts are very deep.
(F)A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.
When (G)the wicked [a]spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever.

(H)But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.
For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall (I)be scattered.

10 But (J)my [b]horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been (K)anointed with fresh oil.
11 (L)My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
My ears hear my desire on the wicked
Who rise up against me.

12 (M)The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be [c]fresh and [d]flourishing,
15 To declare that the Lord is upright;
(N)He is my rock, and (O)there is no unrighteousness in Him.

安息日に歌う歌。

92 主に「感謝します」と言うこと、
神々にまさる神に賛美の歌をささげることは、
なんとすばらしいことでしょう。
朝ごとに、「恵みを感謝します」と言い、
夜ごとに、神の真実を喜びなさい。
十弦の琴やリュート、竪琴をかなでながら、
賛美の歌を歌いなさい。
こんなにも多くのことをしてくださった主に、
感謝せずにはいられません。
喜びの歌を歌わずにはいられません。

主よ、あなたはなんとすばらしい奇跡を
なさることでしょう。
あなたの御思いの深さには測りがたいものがあります。
浅はかな者には、とても理解できず、
愚かな者の想像も越えています。
たとえ、今は雑草のようにはびこっていようと、
悪人を待ち受けているのは永遠の滅びだけです。
主は永遠に天であがめられるお方ですが、
神に対して悪事を働く者は、滅びに至るのです。
10 しかし、あなたは私を、
野牛のように強くしてくださいました。
あなたに祝福されて、力がみなぎりました。
11 敵が刑罰を宣告されて滅ぶ様子を、
私はこの目で見ました。
12 しかし、神を信じて従う人は、
なつめやしの木のように青々と茂り、
レバノン杉のようにそびえ立ちます。
13 主の農園に移植され、
神ご自身が世話をしてくださるからです。
14 その木々は、老木となっても実を結び、
青々と茂ることができるのです。
15 このことは主の栄誉となり、
その真実を人々に知らせます。
主は私の隠れ家です。
主は恵みそのもののお方です。

Psalm 92[a]

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

It is good to praise the Lord
    and make music(A) to your name,(B) O Most High,(C)
proclaiming your love in the morning(D)
    and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre(E)
    and the melody of the harp.(F)

For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
    I sing for joy(G) at what your hands have done.(H)
How great are your works,(I) Lord,
    how profound your thoughts!(J)
Senseless people(K) do not know,
    fools do not understand,
that though the wicked spring up like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.(L)

But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

For surely your enemies(M), Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish;
    all evildoers will be scattered.(N)
10 You have exalted my horn[b](O) like that of a wild ox;(P)
    fine oils(Q) have been poured on me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.(R)

12 The righteous will flourish(S) like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;(T)
13 planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.(U)
14 They will still bear fruit(V) in old age,
    they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
    he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.(W)
