Psalm 92–93

Thanksgiving to Yahweh for Victory

92A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.^a

¹It is good to give thanks to Yahweh,

and to sing praise concerning your name, O Most High;

²to declare in the morning your loyal love

and your faithfulness in the night,

³on the ten string, and on the harp,

with a melody on the lyre.

⁴For you, O Yahweh, have made me glad by your work;

by the deeds of your hands I sing for joy.

⁵How great are your deeds, O Yahweh;

how very deep are your thoughts.

⁶The brutish man does not know,

and the fool cannot understand this.

⁷When the wicked flourish like grass

and all the workers of evil blossom,

it is so they can be destroyed forever.

⁸But you are on high forever, O Yahweh.

⁹For behold, your enemies, O Yahweh,

for behold, your enemies will perish.

All the workers of evil will be scattered.

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

you have anointed me^b with fresh oil.

¹¹And so my eye looks on my enemies.^c

My ears hear those evildoers who rise up against me.

¹²The righteous^d will flourish like the date palm.

They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

¹³Planted in the house^e of Yahweh,

they will flourish in the courts of our God.

¹⁴They will still prosper in old age.

They will be fat and luxuriant,^f

¹⁵to declare that Yahweh is upright.

He is my rock, and there is no injustice^g in him.

Yahweh Is King Over All the Earth

93Yahweh is king; he clothes himself with majesty.

Yahweh clothes himself; he girds himself with might.

Yes, the world is established so that it will not be moved.

²Your throne is established from of old;

you are from everlasting.

³The rivers have lifted up, O Yahweh;

the rivers have lifted up their rumbling;^a

the rivers have lifted up their pounding.

⁴Mightier than the rumblings of many waters,

mightier than the mighty breakers of the sea,

Yahweh on high is mighty.

⁵Your testimonies are fully reliable.

Holiness is fitting for your house,^b

O Yahweh, forever.^c
