Context of Psalms 92:5
3to the accompaniment of a ten-stringed instrument and a lyre, to the accompaniment of the meditative tone of the harp. 4For you, O Lord, have made me happy by your work. I will sing for joy because of what you have done. How great are your works, O Lord! Your plans are very intricate! 6The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this; the fool does not understand this. 7When the wicked sprout up like grass, and all the evildoers glisten, it is so that they may be annihilated.
