92 An accompanied song for Rest Days.

92 It’s good when people thank you, Yahweh,

≈and sing praises to you, the highest one

2 to proclaim your loyal commitment in the morning,

≈and your truthfulness every night,

3 using the ten-stringed instrument,

≈and the melody from a harp.

4 Yes, you, Yahweh, have made me happy by your actions.

≈I will cheerfully sing because of what you’ve done.

5 Yahweh, you do incredible things.

≈Your thoughts are extremely complex.

6 A stupid person doesn’t know that,

≈and a fool can’t understand it.

7 Wicked people sprout up like plants,

≈and wickedness flourishes.

They’re doomed to eternal destruction,

8 but you, Yahweh, will always rule on high.

9 Take note of your enemies, Yahweh,

because your enemies will perish.

All those who do evil will be forced to flee.

10 You’ve made me as powerful as a wild bull.

I’ve been anointed with fresh oil.

11 With my own eyes, I’ve looked at my enemies.

≈With my own ears, I’ve heard the opposition against me.

12 A godly person flourishes like a palm tree.

≈That person will grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

13 They’ll be planted in Yahweh’s house.

≈They’ll flourish in God’s courtyards.

14 They’ll still bear fruit even when they’re old.

≈They’ll be fresh and vigorous.

15 They’ll proclaim that Yahweh is an honest judge.

≈He’s reliable and can only ever do what is right.
