< Psalms 92 >

1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto Yhwh, 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 shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
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 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
4 For thou, Yhwh, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph 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 O Yhwh, how great are thy works! and 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 as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall 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, Yhwh, art most high for evermore.
But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Yhwh, 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 shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh 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 shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked 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 Those that be planted in the house of Yhwh 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 fat and flourishing;
[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 shew that Yhwh is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
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.
