“Sabbath” “Prosperity Of The Wicked”

A psalm, a song for the Sabbath day.
92:1
It is good to thank Hashem and to sing praise to Your Name, O Exalted One;
92:2
How great are Your deeds, Hashem; exceedingly profound are Your thoughts.
:6
When the wicked bloom like grass and all the doers of iniquity blossom, it is to destroy them till eternity.
:8
But You remain exalted forever, Hashem.
:9
For behold Your enemies, O Hashem, for behold Your enemies shall perish; dispersed shall be all doers of iniquity.
:10
A righteous man will flourish like a date palm, like a cedar in the Lebanon he will grow tall.
:13
to declare that Hashem is just, my Rock in Whom there is no wrong.
:16

1 A song with musical accompaniment for the Sabbath day.
2 It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing to Your name, O Most High.
3 To declare in the morning Your kindness and Your faith at night.
4 Upon a ten-stringed harp and upon a psaltery, with speech upon a harp.
5 For You have made me happy O Lord, with Your work; with the work of Your hands I shall exult.
6 How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.
7 A boorish man does not know; neither does a fool understand this.
8 When the wicked flourish like grass, and all workers of violence blossom, only to be destroyed to eternity.
9 But You remain on high forever, O Lord.
10 For behold Your enemies, O Lord, for behold Your enemies will perish; all workers of violence will scatter.
11 But You have raised my horn like that of a wild ox; to soak me with fresh oil.
12 My eye has gazed upon those who stare at me [with envy]; when evildoers rise up against me, my ears hear [them].
13 The righteous one flourishes like the palm; as a cedar in Lebanon he grows.
14 Planted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God they will flourish.
15 They will yet grow in old age; fat and fresh will they be.
16 To declare that the Lord is upright, my rock in Whom there is no injustice.
