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 to YHWH, And to sing praises 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 declare Your kindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness in the nights.
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
On ten strings and on stringed instrument, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
For You have caused me to rejoice, O YHWH, in Your work, I sing concerning 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 Your works have been, O YHWH, Your thoughts have been very deep.
6 There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
A brutish man does not know, And a fool does 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 wicked flourish as an herb, And all workers of iniquity blossom—For their being destroyed forever and ever!
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
And You [are] high for all time, O YHWH.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
For behold, Your enemies, O YHWH, For behold, Your enemies perish, All workers of iniquity separate themselves.
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 You exalt my horn as a wild ox, I have been 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 looks on my enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evildoers, my ears hear.
12 But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
The righteous flourish as a palm-tree, He grows as 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.
Those planted in the house of YHWH, In the courts of our God, flourish.
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.
Still they bring forth in old age, They are fat and flourishing,
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 YHWH my Rock [is] upright, And there is no perverseness in Him!
