F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Gladness and Growth Psalms 92:1-15 The inscription alludes to the suitability of this psalm for the Sabbath day. Psalms 92:1-3 contain the general statement of the desirability of praise and thanksgiving. Psalms 92:4-5 suggest that God’s work in creation, providence, and grace should elicit perpetual thanksgiving; but that the thoughts and purposes which underlie them are too deep for our fathoming. Two classes of men are here mentioned: the brutish and wicked, Psalms 92:6-9 ; the servants... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 92:1-15

THIS is a song of praise. The seemliness of praise is first declared (vv. Psa 92:1-3 ); and then reasons for it are given (vv. Psa 92:4-15 ). Praise is good as the first exercise of the day and also as the last. Lovingkindness in the morning, the sense of all the provision made for us as we face the responsibilities and conflicts of the day. Faithfulness at night, the conviction that Jehovah has been true to His covenant, through all the hours of need. The song proceeds to rejoice first in... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:12

PALM-TREE CHRISTIANS‘The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.’Psalms 92:12The characteristic thing about the palm-tree Christian, mentioned three times, is that he ‘shall flourish.’ To flourish means four things in such a connection: To grow luxuriantly, to increase and enlarge; to thrive and to be prosperous; to be prominent; and to be in a state of activity or production. I. The palm-tree Christian grows luxuriantly.—In sandy wastes, arid, where other vegetation fails, the palm-tree... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 92:12

Like the palm tree; which is constantly green, and flourishing, and fruitful, Song of Solomon 7:8, and growing even when it is pressed down; and so is a fit emblem of a just man’s person and condition. See Revelation 7:9. Like a cedar; which spreads itself wide, and grows very high and strong, and is very durable, and in some sort incorruptible. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

INTRODUCTIONSuperscription.—“A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath-day.” It so far combines the properties of both a psalm and a song that either name may be applied to it. This psalm was appointed for use in the temple service on the Sabbath-day. By reason of its contents it is well adapted for use in the public worship of God. “It celebrates,” says Perowne, “in joyful strain the greatness of God’s works, and especially His righteous government of the world, as manifested in the overthrow of the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92:1-15 is a psalm for the Sabbath day.It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night ( Psalms 92:1-2 ),It's just a good thing to praise the Lord in song, to just show forth the lovingkindness of God.

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92:3 . Ten strings. Stringed instruments, as in Psalms 150:4. These are four, the asur, the nebal, the higgaion, and the kinnor or harp: a full band for singing in the courts of the Lord. This is a psalm of David; and it would seem from the language, that the enemies were his enemies: Psalms 92:9-11. The horn of the unicorn, Psalms 92:10, designates regal power. Seeing his desire on his enemies, is equivalent to confidence of victory; and flourishing in the courts of the... read more

Psalms 92:12-15The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. The prosperity of the righteousI. Who shall flourish? “The righteous.” There are none who are righteous by a righteousness of their own--that is, a righteousness derived from themselves; but there are those who are righteous by a righteousness derived from God. Of this the apostle speaks; “ That I may be found in Him, not having mine own,” etc. There is a twofold righteousness spoken of in the... read more
