Context of Psalms 92:4
2It is fitting to proclaim your loyal love in the morning, and your faithfulness during the night, 3to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, to the accompaniment of the meditative tone of the harp. For you, O Lord, have made me happy by your work. I will sing for joy because of what you have done. 5How great are your works, O Lord! Your plans are very intricate! 6The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this; the fool does not understand this.
