Psalms 92:3
1 It is good to praise the LORD, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning and Your faithfulness at night
with the ten-stringed harp and the melody of the lyre.
4 For You, O LORD, have made me glad by Your deeds; I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!
