A Psalm, a Song, for the Sabbath day.

92 It is good to give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy name, O Most High;

To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:

A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.

And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 And mine eye shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

12 The righteous shall shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on Lebanon.

13 Those that are planted in the house of Jehovah shall flourish in the courts of our God:

14 They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;

15 To shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

93 Jehovah reigneth, he hath clothed himself with majesty: Jehovah hath clothed himself, he hath girded himself with strength; yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved.

Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity.

The floods lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods lifted up their voice; the floods lifted up their roaring waves.

Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea.

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.

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)

Psalm 93

The Lord reigns,(X) he is robed in majesty;(Y)
    the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength;(Z)
    indeed, the world is established,(AA) firm and secure.(AB)
Your throne was established(AC) long ago;
    you are from all eternity.(AD)

The seas(AE) have lifted up, Lord,
    the seas have lifted up their voice;(AF)
    the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.(AG)
Mightier than the thunder(AH) of the great waters,
    mightier than the breakers(AI) of the sea—
    the Lord on high is mighty.(AJ)

Your statutes, Lord, stand firm;
    holiness(AK) adorns your house(AL)
    for endless days.
