Psalm 92

Psalm 92 (Greek numbering: Psalm 91), known as Mizmor Shir L'yom HaShabbat, is a psalm the was written for the Shabbat day. Though it is permissible to recite it any day, it is generally reserved for Shabbos and is also recited during the morning services on festivals.

During Shabbos, it is recited once on Friday night during Kabbalat Shabbat, and twice during the day, once during morning services, and as the song of the day, all for a total of three recitations during Shabbos. The recitation during Kabbalat Shabbat officially ushers in the Shabbos.

Psalm 92 has a deep meaning: During the week, we are all so busy, we do not get to spend a lot of time in service to G-d. But on Shabbos, our day of rest, since we put all our weekday worries aside, we have more time for G-d.
