< 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 give thanks unto Jehovah, and to sing psalms unto thy 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 declare thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness in the nights,
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
Upon an instrument of ten strings and upon the lute; upon the Higgaion with the harp.
4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
6 There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
A brutish man knoweth not, neither doth a fool understand it.
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 wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
And thou, Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
For lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, for lo, thine enemies shall perish; 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 shalt thou exalt like a buffalo's: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
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 shall see [its desire] on mine enemies; mine ears shall hear [it] of the evil-doers 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 shoot forth like a palm-tree; he shall grow like a cedar on 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 that are planted in the house of Jehovah 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.
They are still vigorous in old age, they are full of sap and green;
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 shew that Jehovah is upright: [he is] my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
