< 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. 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, 3 accompanied by [musicians playing] harps that have ten strings, and by the sounds made by a lyre. 4 Yahweh, you have caused me to be glad; I sing joyfully because of what you [SYN] have done. 5 Yahweh, the things that you do are great! But it is difficult for us to understand [all] that you think. 6 There are things [that you do] that foolish people cannot know about, things that stupid people cannot understand. 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. 8 But Yahweh, you [will] exalted/be honored/rule) forever. 9 Yahweh, your enemies will [certainly] die, and those who do wicked things will be defeated/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]. 11 I [SYN] have seen you defeat my enemies; d I have heard those evil men wail/scream while they were being slaughtered. 12 But righteous [people] will prosper like [SIM] palm trees that grow well, or like [SIM] cedar [trees] that grow 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. 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. 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.
