Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92:0 Is called by Dante ( Purg . XXVIII 80), Il Salmo Delectasti, because, in the Vulgate, the 4th verse begins with the words, 'Thou hast made me glad'. A beautiful female form, representing the higher life, is introduced as saying, 'She is so happy because she can sing like the Psalm Delectasti, "Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through Thy work"'. Casaubon was one of the most learned men of his age, and truly devout. He was so humble and reticent, that some doubted his religious... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92:1-15AUTHORITIES differ in their arrangement of this psalm. Clearly, the first three verses are a prelude; and if these are left out of account, the remainder of the psalm consists of twelve verses, which fall into two groups of six each, the former of which mainly deals with the brief prosperity and final overthrow of the wicked, while the latter paints the converse truth of the security and blessedness of the righteous. Both illustrate the depth of God’s works and purposes, which is... read more

Psalms 92:0 A Psalm of Praise 1. Praise for His works (Psalms 92:1-5 ) 2. The enemies who perish (Psalms 92:6-9 ) 3.

92:12 The righteous shall {h} flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.(h) Though the faithful seem to whither and be cut down by the wicked, yet they will grow again and flourish in the Church of God as the cedars do in mount Lebanon. read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Psalms 92:0 (Note On The Ninety-Second Psalm.) [Note. A psalm of Sabbath musings. Not known whether it expresses the religious feelings of Israel generally after the restoration, or whether it owes its origin to any special event.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:7-15

7-15 God sometimes grants prosperity to wicked men in displeasure; yet they flourish but for a moment. Let us seek for ourselves the salvation and grace of the gospel, that being daily anointed by the Holy Spirit, we may behold and share the Redeemer's glory. It is from his grace, by his word and Spirit, that believers receive all the virtue that keeps them alive, and makes them fruitful. Other trees, when old, leave off bearing, but in God's trees the strength of grace does not fail with the... read more
