Mazmur 92:1-4

Psalm 92 ¹ 

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 

[92:1]  ¹ sn Psalm 92. The psalmist praises God because he defeats the wicked and vindicates his loyal followers.

[92:1]  ² tn Or “good.”

[92:1]  ³ tn Traditionally “O Most High.”

[92:2]  ⁴ tn The words “it is fitting” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. Verses 1-3 are actually one long sentence in the Hebrew text, but this has been divided up into two shorter sentences in the translation in keeping with contemporary English style.

[92:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “the works of your hands.”
