< 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 a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises 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 lovingkindness in the morning, and Thy faithfulness in the night seasons,
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; with a solemn sound upon the harp.
4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
For Thou, LORD, hast made me glad through Thy work; I will exult 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.
How great are Thy works, O LORD! 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 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 wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed for ever.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
But Thou, O LORD, 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 LORD, 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 hast Thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox; I am anointed with rich oil.
11 I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.
Mine eye also hath gazed on them that lie in wait for me, mine ears have heard my desire 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 flourish like the palm-tree; he shall 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 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 shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap and richness;
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 declare that the LORD is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no unrighteousness.
