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. It is a good thing to give praise to the Lord, and to make melody 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 make clear your mercy in the morning, and your unchanging faith every night;
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
On a ten-corded instrument, and on an instrument of music with a quiet sound.
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 through your work; I will have joy in 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.
O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
6 There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
A man without sense has no knowledge of this; and a foolish man may not take it in.
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.
When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;
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 my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.
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 have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.
12 But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
The good man will be like a tall tree in his strength; his growth will be as the wide-stretching trees of 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.
Those who are planted in the house of the Lord will come up tall and strong in his gardens.
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.
They will give fruit even when they are old; they will be fertile and full of growth;
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.
For a sign that the Lord is upright; he is my Rock, there is no deceit in him.
