Psalms 92
1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High,
Yahweh, it is good for people to thank you and to sing to praise you [MTY] who are greater than any other god.
2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
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 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre.
4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done.
5 How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think.
6 A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand.
7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
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 But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.
But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever.
9 For behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/scattered.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
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 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
[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 They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
[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 to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
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.
