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 or 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 tell in the morning of thy kindness, and of thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
Upon a ten-stringed instrument, and upon the psaltery; and with the sweet sound of the harp.
4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
For thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Lord, through thy doing: because of the works of thy hands will I triumph.
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! exceedingly profound are thy thoughts.
6 There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
A brutish man knoweth it not, and a fool cannot 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 like herbs, and when all the workers of wickedness do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed evermore.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
But thou art exalted to eternity, O Lord!
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
For, lo, thy enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish: all the workers of wickedness 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 thou exaltest my horn like that of a reem: I am 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 my eye looketh on [the punishment of] those that regard me with envy: of the evildoers that rise up against me my ears shall bear it.
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 spring up like the palm-tree: like a cedar in Lebanon shall he grow high.
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, in the courts of our God shall they spring up.
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 flourish in high old age; they shall be vigorous and covered with foliage;
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: he is my rock, and there is no faultiness in him.
