Psalm 92

Complete Jewish Bible

92 ⁽⁰⁾A psalm. A song for Shabbat:

²⁽¹⁾It is good to give thanks to Adonai
and sing praises to your name, ‘Elyon,
³⁽²⁾to tell in the morning about your grace
and at night about your faithfulness,
⁴⁽³⁾to the music of a ten-stringed [harp] and a lute,
with the melody sounding on a lyre.

⁵⁽⁴⁾For, Adonai, what you do makes me happy;
I take joy in what your hands have made.
⁶⁽⁵⁾How great are your deeds, Adonai!
How very deep your thoughts!

⁷⁽⁶⁾Stupid people can’t know,
fools don’t understand,
⁸⁽⁷⁾that when the wicked sprout like grass,
and all who do evil prosper,
it is so that they can be eternally destroyed,
⁹⁽⁸⁾while you, Adonai, are exalted forever.

¹⁰⁽⁹⁾For your enemies, Adonai,
your enemies will perish;
all evildoers will be scattered.
¹¹⁽¹⁰⁾But you have given me
the strength of a wild bull;
you anoint me with fresh olive oil.
¹²⁽¹¹⁾My eyes have gazed with pleasure on my enemies’ ruin,
my ears have delighted in the fall of my foes.

¹³⁽¹²⁾The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar in the L’vanon.
¹⁴⁽¹³⁾Planted in the house of Adonai,
they will flourish in the courtyards of our God.
¹⁵⁽¹⁴⁾Even in old age they will be vigorous,
still full of sap, still bearing fruit,
¹⁶⁽¹⁵⁾proclaiming that Adonai is upright,
my Rock, in whom there is no wrong.
