Psalms 92

A Song of Praise
A song for the day of worship # 92 Ancient Jewish tradition holds that Adam composed this psalm on the first Sabbath of creation, and it was to be sung by the Levites on the Sabbath in the temple.
1It’s so enjoyable to come before you
with uncontainable praises spilling from our hearts!
How we love to sing our praises over and over to you,
to the matchless God, high and exalted over all!
2At each and every sunrise we will be thanking you
for your kindness and your love.
As the sun sets and all through the night,
we will keep proclaiming, “You are so faithful!”
3Melodies of praise will fill the air as every musical instrument, # 92:3 Or “a ten-stringed harp and lyre.”
joined with every heart, overflows with worship.
4No wonder I’m so glad; I can’t keep it in!
Lord, I’m shouting with glee over all you’ve done,
for all you’ve done for me:
5what mighty miracles and your power at work—just to name a few!
Depths of purpose and layers of meaning
saturate everything you do.
6Such amazing mysteries are found within every miracle
that nearly everyone seems to miss.
Those with no discernment can never really discover
the deep and glorious secrets hidden in your ways.
7It’s true the wicked flourish, but only for a moment;
they foolishly forget their destiny with death,
that they will all one day be destroyed forevermore.
8But you, O Lord, are exalted forever
in the highest place of endless glory,
9while your opponents, the workers of wickedness,
will all perish, forever separated from you.
10Your anointing has made me strong and mighty.
You’ve empowered my life for triumph # 92:10 The Septuagint reads “I will raise my horn high like a rhinoceros [Hb. translated as “wild ox”], and in my old age I will still have plenty of oil [anointing].”
by pouring fresh oil over me.
11You’ve said that those lying in wait to pounce on me
would be defeated,
and now it’s happened right in front of my eyes,
and I’ve heard their cries of surrender!
12Yes! Look how you’ve made all your devoted lovers
to flourish like palm trees,
each one growing in victory, standing with strength! # 92:12 Or “growing high like a cedar in Lebanon.” God makes us immortal and immovable.
13You’ve transplanted them into your heavenly courtyard,
where they are thriving before you,
14for in your presence they will still overflow and be anointed.
Even in their old age they will stay fresh,
bearing luscious fruit and abiding faithfully.
15Listen to them! With pleasure they still proclaim:
“You’re so good! You’re my beautiful strength!
You’ve never made a mistake with me.” # 92:15 Or “You are just and never unfair.”

Thanksgiving to Yahweh for Victory
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.#The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm; the English verse number is reduced by one
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#The Hebrew’s “that I have moistened with fresh oil” seems unlikely. The above translation presupposes the loss of a letter in the Hebrew textual tradition (ballotani for the MT’s balloti) with fresh oil.
11And so my eye looks on my enemies.#This word for “enemies” suggests those watching for any advantage
My ears hear those evildoers who rise up against me.
12The righteous#Hebrew singular, but used as a collective. The verbs of this verse are also singular will flourish like the date palm.
They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13Planted in the house#Or “temple” of Yahweh,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14They will still prosper in old age.
They will be fat and luxuriant,#This is the same word used of the oil in v. 11 and translated “fresh”
15to declare that Yahweh is upright.
He is my rock, and there is no injustice#According to the reading tradition (Qere) in him.
