We come to one of my favorite psalms, especially at my age: Psalm 92. It opens routinely:

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath Day.

It is good to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; To declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night, On an instrument of ten strings, On the lute, And on the harp, With harmonious sound. (Psalm 92.introduction – 3, NKJV)

“…an instrument of 10 strings…the lute…and the harp.” are listed as means of giving thanks to the LORD. Our concert on August 24 was such a night, I think. (Music starts about 2:20 in.)

The middle part talks about God’s works. (See Psalm 92.4 – 11)

The psalm closes with a promise for those of us in the last quarter:

The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the LORD Shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bear fruit in old age; They shall be fresh and flourishing, To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. (Psalm 92.12 – 15, NKJV)

“They shall still bear fruit in old age…” Amen.
