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

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 92:10But my horn shalt Thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. Character: an ordination chargeThe image of lifting up the horn denotes strength, courage, victory over enemies--the power and glory which rays out from the Christly life in the soul.

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
