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 YHWH, 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 loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, 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, YHWH, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in 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 are your works, YHWH. 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 senseless man doesn't know, neither 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.
though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
But you, YHWH, are on high forevermore.
9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
For, look, your enemies, YHWH, for, look, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers 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].
But you have exalted my horn like that 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 eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who 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 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 YHWH's house. They will flourish in our God's courts.
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 will still bring forth fruit in old age. They will be full of sap 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 show that YHWH is upright. He is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
