A psalm; a song for the Sabbath day.
92:1 It is fitting 2 to thank the Lord,
and to sing praises to your name, O sovereign One! 3
92:2 It is fitting 4 to proclaim your loyal love in the morning,
and your faithfulness during the night,
92:3 to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre,
to the accompaniment of the meditative tone of the harp.
150:3 Praise him with the blast of the horn!
Praise him with the lyre and the harp!
150:4 Praise him with the tambourine and with dancing!
Praise him with stringed instruments and the flute!
150:5 Praise him with loud cymbals!
Praise him with clanging cymbals!
3:18 I will rejoice because of 5 the Lord;
I will be happy because of the God who delivers me!
3:19 The sovereign Lord is my source of strength. 6
He gives me the agility of a deer; 7
he enables me to negotiate the rugged terrain. 8
(This prayer is for the song leader. It is to be accompanied by stringed instruments.) 9
