Psalms 92
1 A Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, 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, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at 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 a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.
accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
4 For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.
Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
5 How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!
Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
6 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —
There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
7 When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, 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, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.
But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
9 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;
Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
10 But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been 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 So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.
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, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;
But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
13 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;
[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 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:
[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 upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity 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.
