Psalms 92
1 A Psalm, a Song. For the sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto Thy name, O Most High;
Yahweh, it is good for people to thank you and to sing to praise you [MTY] who are greater than any other god.
2 To declare Thy lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,
It is good to proclaim every morning that you faithfully love us, and each night [to sing songs that] declare that you always do what you have promised to do,
3 With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.
accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
4 For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult in the works of Thy hands.
Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
5 How great are Thy works, O LORD! Thy thoughts are very deep.
Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
6 A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand this.
There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
7 When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
They do not understand that although the number of wicked [people] increases [like blades of] grass do [SIM], and they prosper, they will be completely destroyed.
8 But Thou, O LORD, art on high for evermore.
But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, Thine enemies shall perish: all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
10 But my horn hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.
But you have caused me to be as strong [MTY] as [SIM] a wild ox; you have caused me to be very joyful [MTY].
11 Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
13 Planted in the house of the LORD, they shall flourish in the courts of our God.
[They are like the trees] that grow near the temple of Yahweh [in Jerusalem], those trees that are close to the courtyard of the temple of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;
[Even] when righteous people become old, they do many things [IDM] [that please God]. They remain strong and full of energy, [like trees that] [MET] remain full of sap.
15 To declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
That shows that Yahweh is just; he is [like a huge] rock [under which I am safe/protected], and he never does anything that is wicked/wrong.
