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;

² To declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,

³ Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.

⁴ For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

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.

¹⁴ And Jehovah Elohim said to the serpent, Because thou hast done this, be thou cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field. On thy belly shalt thou go, and eat dust all the days of thy life.

¹⁵ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; he shall crush thy head, and thou shalt crush his heel.

¹⁶ To the woman he said, I will greatly increase thy travail and thy pregnancy; with pain thou shalt bear children; and to thy husband shall be thy desire, and he shall rule over thee.

¹⁷ And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy wife, and eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed be the ground on thy account; with toil shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;

¹⁸ and thorns and thistles shall it yield thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

¹⁹ In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, until thou return to the ground: for out of it wast thou taken. For dust thou art; and unto dust shalt thou return.

²⁰ And Man called his wife's name Eve; because she is the mother of all living.

²¹ And Jehovah Elohim made Adam and his wife coats of skin, and clothed them.

²² And Jehovah Elohim said, Behold, Man is become as one of us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever …!

²³ Therefore Jehovah Elohim sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.

²⁴ And he drove out Man; and he set the Cherubim, and the flame of the flashing sword, toward the east of the garden of Eden, to guard the way to the tree of life.

⁵ For he has not subjected to angels the habitable world which is to come, of which we speak;

⁶ but one has testified somewhere, saying, What is man, that thou rememberest him, or son of man that thou visitest him?

⁷ Thou hast made him some little inferior to the angels; thou hast crowned him with glory and honour, [and hast set him over the works of thy hands;]

⁸ thou hast subjected all things under his feet. For in subjecting all things to him, he has left nothing unsubject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to *him*,

⁹ but we see Jesus, who [was] made some little inferior to angels on account of the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste death for every thing.
