Psalm 92:5–11

5 How great are your works, Lord,

how profound your thoughts!

6 Senseless people do not know,

fools do not understand,

7 that though the wicked spring up like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

8 But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

9 For surely your enemies, Lord,

surely your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

10 You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

fine oils 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.

5 O Lord, how great are thy works!

And thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever:

8 But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord,

For, lo, thine enemies shall perish;

All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn:

I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies,

And mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.

5 O Lord, what great works you do!

And how deep are your thoughts.

6 Only a simpleton would not know,

and only a fool would not understand this:

7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds

and evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

8 But you, O Lord, will be exalted forever.

9 Your enemies, Lord, will surely perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

10 But you have made me as strong as a wild ox.

You have anointed me with the finest oil.

11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;

my ears have heard the defeat of my wicked opponents.

5 O Lord, how great are Your works!

Your thoughts are very deep.

6 A senseless man does not know,

Nor does a fool understand this.

7 When the wicked spring up like grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,

It is that they may be destroyed forever.

8 But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.

9 For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,

For behold, Your enemies shall perish;

All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn You have exalted like a wild ox;

I have been anointed with fresh oil.

11 My eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;

My ears hear my desire on the wicked

Who rise up against me.

5 Lord, you have done such great things!

How deep are your thoughts!

6 Stupid people don’t know these things,

and fools don’t understand.

7 Wicked people grow like the grass.

Evil people seem to do well,

but they will be destroyed forever.

8 But, Lord, you will be honored forever.

9 Lord, surely your enemies,

surely your enemies will be destroyed,

and all who do evil will be scattered.

10 But you have made me as strong as an ox.

You have poured fine oils on me.

11 When I looked, I saw my enemies;

I heard the cries of those who are against me.

5 How great are thy works, O Jehovah!

Thy thoughts are very deep.

6 A brutish man knoweth not;

Neither doth a fool understand this:

7 When the wicked spring as the grass,

And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;

It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

8 But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah,

For, lo, thine enemies shall perish;

All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

10 But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox:

I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 Mine eye also hath seen my desire on mine enemies,

Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep: 6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.

7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever. 8 And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore. 9 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.

5 How spectacular are your works, O Lord! 

How very deep are your thoughts! 

6 A stupid person cannot know 

and a fool cannot understand 

7 that wicked people sprout like grass 

and all troublemakers blossom ⸤like flowers⸥, 

only to be destroyed forever. 

8 But you, O Lord, are highly honored forever. 

9 Now look at your enemies, O Lord. 

Now look at your enemies. 

They disappear, and all troublemakers are scattered. 

10 But you make me as strong as a wild bull, 

and soothing lotion is poured on me. 

11 My eyes gloat over those who spy on me. 

My ears hear ⸤the cries⸥ of evildoers attacking me. 

5 How magnificent are Your works, Lord,

how profound Your thoughts!

6 A stupid person does not know,

a fool does not understand this:

7 though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be eternally destroyed.

8 But You, Lord, are exalted forever.

9 For indeed, Lord, Your enemies—

indeed, Your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

10 You have lifted up my horn

like that of a wild ox;

I have been anointed with oil.

11 My eyes look down on my enemies;

my ears hear evildoers when they attack me.

5 How great are your works, O Lord!

Your thoughts are very deep!

6 The dullard cannot know;

the stupid cannot understand this:

7 though the wicked sprout like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they are doomed to destruction forever,

8 but you, O Lord, are on high forever.

9 For your enemies, O Lord,

for your enemies shall perish;

all evildoers shall be scattered.

10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;

you have anointed me with fresh oil.

11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;

my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

5 How great are your deeds, O Yahweh;

how very deep are your thoughts.

6 The brutish man does not know,

and the fool cannot understand this.

7 When the wicked flourish like grass

and all the workers of evil blossom,

it is so they can be destroyed forever.

8 But you are on high forever, O Yahweh.

9 For behold, your enemies, O Yahweh,

for behold, your enemies will perish.

All the workers of evil will be scattered.

10 But you have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

you have anointed me with fresh oil.

11 And so my eye looks on my enemies.

My ears hear those evildoers who rise up against me.

5 Lord, how great are the things you do!

How wise your thoughts are!

6 Here is something a man who isn’t wise doesn’t know.

Here is what a foolish person doesn’t understand.

7 Those who are evil spring up like grass.

Those who do wrong succeed.

But they will be destroyed forever.

8 But Lord, you are honored forever.

9 Lord, your enemies will certainly die.

All those who do evil will be scattered.

10 You have made me as strong as a wild ox.

You have poured the finest olive oil on me.

11 I’ve seen my evil enemies destroyed.

I’ve heard that they have lost the battle.

5 How great are Your works, O Lord!

Your thoughts are very deep.

6 A senseless man has no knowledge,

Nor does a stupid man understand this:

7 That when the wicked sprouted up like grass

And all who did iniquity flourished,

It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore.

8 But You, O Lord, are on high forever.

9 For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord,

For, behold, Your enemies will perish;

All who do iniquity will be scattered.

10 But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;

I have been anointed with fresh oil.

11 And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes,

My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
