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 FOR THE SHABBAT DAY To thank You, Adonai, is good, and to sing to Your name, Most High; to declare Your love at dawn, Your faithfulness each night. Sound the lute, strum the harp, let the lyre’s tone swell upward. You filled me with gladness by Your deeds, Adonai, and I shall hymn Your handiwork. How marvelous Your works, Adonai, how intricate Your designs! The proud cannot grasp it, nor can the fool fathom this: the wicked thrive like grass and every worker of evil blooms, destined for everlasting ruin—yet You, Adonai, stand exalted through all ages. Indeed Your foes, Adonai, indeed Your foes shall perish; all who do evil will be scattered. As a wild bull lifts its horn, You lifted my head high, and anointed it with fresh oil. Though my foes assemble against me, my eye stays firm, for my ears attend and hear: The just bloom like the date palm, grow like a cedar in Lebanon; planted within Adonai’s house, they bloom in our God’s courtyards. Even in old age they stay fruitful, still fresh and abundant, declaring: Adonai is upright, my rock in whom no defect is found.
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 reigns, clothed in majesty, belted with might; the earth stands sure, never to be shaken. From earliest time You sat enthroned; You are eternal. The rivers surge, Adonai, the rivers send up their roar, the rivers send up their waves. Over the thunder of the great sea and the ocean’s majestic breakers, Adonai stands supreme in the heavens. Within Your house, lovely in its holiness, Your testimonies endure, Adonai, for all time.
