Context of Psalms 92:5
3On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound. 4For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work; I will triumph in the works of Your hands. O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep. 6A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this. 7When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever.
