Psalms 92

1 “A psalm or 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 tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.

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 a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp.

accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.

4 For thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.

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! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.

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 it not, and a fool cannot 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 like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.

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 art exalted to eternity, O Lord!

But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.

9 For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness shall be scattered.

Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.

10 But thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am 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 And my eye looketh on [the punishment of] those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it.

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 spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.

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, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.

[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 flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;

[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: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness 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.
