Chapter 92
92
1It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
2To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.
4For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:
7When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.
8But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn hast thou exalted like the horn of the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also hath seen my desireon mine enemies, Mine ears have heard my desire of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:
15To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
What is Psalms 92 about?
A Psalm for the sabbath day gives voice to Israel's weekly worship, declaring it good to give thanks unto the LORD and to sing of His lovingkindness in the morning and His faithfulness by night. The singer marvels at God's great works and deep thoughts, contrasting the senseless man who does not understand with the wicked, whose flourishing is doomed to be destroyed forever. Against them, the righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon, planted in the house of the LORD and bearing fruit even in old age. Within a book preoccupied with God's reign, this Sabbath song teaches the worshiper to rest in the LORD who is upright, the rock in whom there is no unrighteousness.
Matthew Henry on Psalms 92
