Psalms 92
Titled a song for the Sabbath day, this psalm calls it good to give thanks morning and night, set to the ten-stringed lute, harp, and lyre. Its theme is the contrast between the fleeting success of the wicked and the deep, enduring works of the LORD.
- 1
It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, to sing praises to your name, Most High,
- 2
to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
- 3
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
- 4
For you, LORD, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
- 5
How great are your works, LORD! Your thoughts are very deep.
- 6
A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
- 7
though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
- 8
But you, LORD, are on high forever more.
- 9
For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
- 10
But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
- 11
My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
- 12
The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
- 13
They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
- 14
They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
- 15
to show that the LORD is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Salmo: Canción para el día del Sábado. BUENO es alabar á Jehová, y cantar salmos á tu nombre, oh Altísimo;
- 2
Anunciar por la mañana tu misericordia, y tu verdad en las noches,
- 3
En el decacordio y en el salterio, en tono suave con el arpa.
- 4
Por cuanto me has alegrado, oh Jehová, con tus obras; en las obras de tus manos me gozo.
- 5
¡Cuán grandes son tus obras, oh Jehová! Muy profundos son tus pensamientos.
- 6
El hombre necio no sabe, y el insensato no entiende esto:
- 7
Que brotan los impíos como la hierba, y florecen todos los que obran iniquidad, para ser destruídos para siempre.
- 8
Mas tú, Jehová, para siempre eres Altísimo.
- 9
Porque he aquí tus enemigos, oh Jehová, porque he aquí, perecerán tus enemigos; serán disipados todos los que obran maldad.
- 10
Empero tú ensalzarás mi cuerno como el de unicornio: seré ungido con aceite fresco.
- 11
Y mirarán mis ojos sobre mis enemigos: oirán mis oídos de los que se levantaron contra mí, de los malignos.
- 12
El justo florecerá como la palma: crecerá como cedro en el Líbano.
- 13
Plantados en la casa de Jehová, en los atrios de nuestro Dios florecerán.
- 14
Aun en la vejez fructificarán; estarán vigorosos y verdes;
- 15
Para anunciar que Jehová mi fortaleza es recto, y que en él no hay injusticia.
Grass against the cedar
Verse 7 grants that the wicked spring up like grass and the evildoers flourish, but only to be destroyed forever, an image of growth that comes to nothing. The senseless man, says verse 6, cannot grasp this.
The counter-image arrives in verse 12: the righteous flourish like the palm and grow like a cedar in Lebanon, planted in the LORD's house, still bearing fruit in old age, full of sap and green. Same verb, flourish, but opposite endings.
