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.
92:4 For you, O Lord, have made me happy by your work.
I will sing for joy because of what you have done. 5
