Psalm 92
Hebrew
מִזְמוֹר שִׁיר לְיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת
טוֹב לְהֹדוֹת לַיהוָה, וּלְזַמֵּר לְשִׁמְךָ עֶלְיוֹן,
לְהַגִּיד בַּבֹּקֶר חַסְדֶּךָ, וֶאֱמוּנָתְךָ בַּלֵּילוֹת.
עֲלֵי עָשׂוֹר וַעֲלֵי נָבֶל, עֲלֵי הִגָּיוֹן בְּכִנּוֹר.
כִּי שִׂמַּחְתַּנִי יְהוָה בְּפָעֳלֶךָ, בְּמַעֲשֵׂי יָדֶיךָ אֲרַנֵּן.
מַה גָּדְלוּ מַעֲשֶׂיךָ יְהוָה, מְאֹד עָמְקוּ מַחְשְׁבֹתֶיךָ.
אִישׁ בַּעַר לֹא יֵדָע, וּכְסִיל לֹא יָבִין אֶת־זֹאת.
בִּפְרֹחַ רְשָׁעִים כְּמוֹ עֵשֶׂב וַיָּצִיצוּ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן,
לְהִשָּׁמְדָם עֲדֵי עַד, וְאַתָּה מָרוֹם לְעֹלָם יְהוָה.
כִּי הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ יְהוָה, כִּי הִנֵּה אֹיְבֶיךָ יֹאבֵדוּ,
יִתְפָּרְדוּ כָּל־פֹּעֲלֵי אָוֶן.
וַתָּרֶם כִּרְאֵים קַרְנִי, בַּלֹּתִי בְּשֶׁמֶן רַעֲנָן.
וַתַּבֵּט עֵינִי בְּשׁוּרָי, בַּקָּמִים עָלַי מְרֵעִים תִּשְׁמַעְנָה אָזְנָי.
צַדִּיק כַּתָּמָר יִפְרָח, כְּאֶרֶז בַּלְּבָנוֹן יִשְׂגֶּה,
שְׁתוּלִים בְּבֵית יְהוָה, בְּחַצְרוֹת אֱלֹהֵינוּ יַפְרִיחוּ.
עוֹד יְנוּבוּן בְּשֵׂיבָה, דְּשֵׁנִים וְרַעֲנַנִּים יִהְיוּ,
לְהַגִּיד כִּי יָשָׁר יְהוָה, צוּרִי וְלֹא־עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ.

mizmor shir leyom hashabat
tov lehodot ladonai, ulezamer leshimcha Elyon,
lehagid baboker chasdecha, ve-emunatcha baleilot.
alei asor va-alei navel, alei higayon b'chinor.
ki simachtani Adonai b'fo-olecha, b'ma-asei yadecha aranen.
mah godlu ma-asecha Adonai, me-od ameku machshevotecha.
ish ba-ar lo yeda, uchsil lo yavin et-zot.
bifroach resha-im k'mo esev vayatzitzu kol-po-alei aven,
lehishamedam adei ad, ve-atah marom le-olam Adonai.
ki hineh oyvecha Adonai, ki hineh oyvecha yovedu,
yitparedu kol-po-alei aven.
vatarem kireim karni, baloti b'shemen ra-anan.
vatabet eini b'shurai, bakamim alai mere-im tishmanah oznai.
tzadik katamar yifrach, ke-erez balevanon yisgeh,
sh'tulim beveit Adonai, b'chatzrot Eloheinu yafrichu.
od yenuvun b'seivah, d'shenim vera-ananim yihyu,
lehagid ki yashar Adonai, tzuri velo-avlatah bo.

A PSALM: THE SONG OF THE DAY OF SHABBAT It is good to thank You, Adonai, and sing to Your name, Most High; to proclaim Your love at daybreak, Your faithfulness each night. Finger the lute, pluck the harp, let the sound of the lyre rise up. You gladdened me with Your deeds, Adonai, and I shall sing of Your handiwork. How wonderful are Your works, Adonai, how subtle Your designs! The arrogant do not understand, the fool does not comprehend this: the wicked flourish like grass and every evildoer blossoms, only to be destroyed forever—but You, Adonai, are exalted for all time. Surely Your enemies, Adonai, surely Your enemies will perish; all who commit evil will be scattered. As a wild bull raises up its horn, You raised my head high, anointed it with fresh oil. As my enemies gather against me, my gaze remains steady, for my ears listen and hear: The righteous flourish like the date palm, thrive like a cedar in Lebanon; planted in the house of Adonai, they flourish in our God’s courtyards. In old age they remain fruitful, still fresh and bountiful, proclaiming: Adonai is upright, my rock in whom there is no flaw.
Psalm 93
Hebrew
יְהוָה מָלָךְ גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ לָבֵשׁ יְהוָה עֹז הִתְאַזָּר,
אַף תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל תִּמּוֹט.
נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ מֵאָז, מֵעוֹלָם אָתָּה.
נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת יְהוָה,
נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם,
יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָם.
מִקֹּלוֹת מַיִם רַבִּים,
אַדִּירִים מִשְׁבְּרֵי יָם,
אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְהוָה.
עֵדֹתֶיךָ נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד,
לְבֵיתְךָ נַאֲוָה קֹדֶשׁ, יְהוָה, לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִים.
Israeli
Adonai malach geut lavesh lavesh Adonai oz hitazar,
af tikon tevel bal timot.
nachon kisacha me-az, me-olam atah.
naseu neharot Adonai,
naseu neharot kolam,
yisu neharot dochyam.
mikolot mayim rabim,
adirim mishberei yam,
adir bamarom Adonai.
edotecha ne-emnu me-od,
leveitcha na-avah kodesh, Adonai, le-orech yamim.
English
Adonai is sovereign, robed in splendor, girded in strength; the earth stands firm, not to be dislodged. From earliest time You were enthroned; You are eternal. The rivers rise up, Adonai, the rivers raise up their roar, the rivers raise up their waves. Above the roar of the vast sea and the majestic breakers of the ocean, Adonai stands supreme in the heavens. In Your house, beautiful in its holiness, Your testimonies endure, Adonai, for all time.
