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 of a Song for the Sabbath-day. It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to your name, O you 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 mercy in the morning, and your truth by night,
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
on a lute of ten strings, with a song on the harp.
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 with your work: and in the operations of your hands will I exult.
5 Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
How have your works been magnified, O Lord! 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 foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.
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 spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
But you, O Lord, are most high for ever.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
For, behold, your enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall 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 my horn shall be exalted [as the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy.
11 I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.
And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise 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 righteous shall flourish as a palm tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus.
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.
They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall 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.
Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare
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.
that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.
