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 Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath. It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms 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 announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.
4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult 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.
How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly 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 these things, and a senseless one will 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.
when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
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].
And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful 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 my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising 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 just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar 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 planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house 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.
They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,
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.
so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
