Psalms 92 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Young's Literal Translation
Psalms 92
1It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
2To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.
4For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:
7When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.
8But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also hath seen my desireon mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:
15To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Psalms 92
1A Psalm. A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
2To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
4For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this;
7When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquityFor their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8And Thou art high to the age, O Jehovah.
9For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15To declare that upright is Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
