Getting Ready
Today, we are studying Psalm 92 which occurs in the fourth collection of the Psalms (#90-106). bible.com describes this as group of Psalms with a chiastic structure. In summary, this means that the format is a letter X; the first and last part of the Psalm are mirrored, and there is a central point. We need to keep this in mind as a key to interpreting this Psalm.
Go to today's Bible reading and read Psalm 92 ten times. Try reading it and/ or listening to it in different versions. This will help you understand the overall context of the Psalm and how it might be divided.
