Psalms
Psalm 92:1–4
1A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day.
It is good to praise the LORD,
and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning
and Your faithfulness at night
3with the ten-stringed harp
and the melody of the lyre.
4For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds;
I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
