Psalms 92

1 Yahweh, it is good for people to thank you and to sing to praise you [MTY] who are greater than any other god.

A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,

2 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,

to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night

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

with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.

4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.

For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.

5 Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.

How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

6 There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.

A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

7 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.

that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

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

But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

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

For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

10 But you have caused me to be as strong [MTY] as [SIM] a wild ox; you have caused me to be very joyful [MTY].

But You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox; with fine oil I have been anointed.

11 I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.

My eyes see the downfall of my enemies; my ears hear the wailing of my wicked foes.

12 But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 [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.

Planted in the house of the LORD, they will flourish in the courts of our God.

14 [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.

In old age they will still bear fruit; healthy and green they will remain,

15 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.

to proclaim, “The LORD is upright; He is my Rock, and in Him there is no unrighteousness.”
