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 to Yahweh and to sing praises to your name, 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 proclaim your covenant faithfulness in the morning and your truthfulness every night,
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
with a harp of ten strings and with the melody of the lyre.
4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your deeds. I will sing for joy because of the deeds 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 deeds, Yahweh! Your 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 person does not know, nor does 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 sprout like the grass, and even when all the evildoers thrive, still they are doomed to eternal destruction.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
But you, Yahweh, will reign forever.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
Indeed, look at your enemies, Yahweh! Indeed, look at your enemies. They will perish! All those who do evil will 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].
You have lifted up my horn like the horn of the wild ox; 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.
My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard of the doom of my evil foes.
12 But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
The righteous will flourish like the palm tree; they will 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.
They are planted in the house of Yahweh; they 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 bear fruit even when they are old; they stay fresh 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 proclaim that Yahweh is just. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
