¹(92) A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you Most High;

¹He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

²to proclaim your mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,

²I will say of Yahweh, “He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.”

³on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.

³For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

⁴For you, O Lord, have made me glad with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.

⁴He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart.

⁵How have your works been magnified, O Lord! your thoughts are very deep.

⁵You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day,

⁶A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

⁶nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday.

⁷When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.

⁷A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you.

⁸But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.

⁸You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked.

⁹For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

⁹Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place,

¹⁰But my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and my old age with rich mercy.

¹⁰no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

¹¹And my eye has seen my enemies, and my ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me.

¹¹For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.

¹²The righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.

¹²They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.

¹³They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

¹³You will tread on the lion and cobra. You will trample the young lion and the serpent underfoot.

¹⁴Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare

¹⁴“Because he has set his love on me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high, because he has known my name.

¹⁵that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

¹⁵He will call on me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.
