Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 92:12

Here again we must look out for the ever blessed Jesus. Of whom but that righteous One could the Prophet speak? Surely he is as the palm-tree of Engedi, and the tree of life in the paradise of God. Revelation 22:2 . read more

Matthew Henry

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

Psalms 92:0A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath day2 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord,And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High:3 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning,And thy faithfulness every night,4 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery;Upon the harp with a solemn sound.5 For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work:I will triumph in the works of thy hands.6 O Lord, how great are thy works!And thy thoughts are very... read more

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

But as for me and other righteous persons, (of whom he saith the same thing Psalms 92:12) we shall be advanced to the height of honour, and true and lasting felicity.
