< Psalmorum 92 >

1 Psalmus Cantici, In die sabbati. Bonum est confiteri Domino: et psallere nomini tuo Altissime.
Yahweh, it is good for people to thank you and to sing to praise you [MTY] who are greater than any other god.
2 Ad annunciandum mane misericordiam tuam: et veritatem tuam per noctem.
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,
3 In decachordo, psalterio: cum cantico, in cithara.
accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
4 Quia delectasti me Domine in factura tua: et in operibus manuum tuarum exultabo.
Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
5 Quam magnificata sunt opera tua Domine! nimis profundæ factæ sunt cogitationes tuæ:
Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
6 Vir insipiens non cognoscet: et stultus non intelliget hæc.
There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
7 Cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut fœnum: et apparuerint omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem: Ut intereant in sæculum sæculi:
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.
8 tu autem Altissimus in æternum Domine.
But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
9 Quoniam ecce inimici tui Domine, quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt: et dispergentur omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem.
Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
10 Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum: et senectus mea in misericordia uberi.
But you have caused me to be as strong [MTY] as [SIM] a wild ox; you have caused me to be very joyful [MTY].
11 Et despexit oculus meus inimicos meos: et in insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea.
I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.
12 Iustus ut palma florebit: sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur.
But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
13 Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt.
[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.
14 Adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi: et bene patientes erunt,
[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.
15 ut annuncient: Quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster: et non est iniquitas in eo.
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.
