Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 92:7-15

The psalmist had said (Ps. 92:4) that from the works of God he would take occasion to triumph; and here he does so. I. He triumphs over God's enemies (Ps. 92:7, 9, 11), triumphs in the foresight of their destruction, not as it would be the misery of his fellow-creatures, but as it would redound to the honour of God's justice and holiness. He is confident of the ruin of sinners, 1. Though they are flourishing (Ps. 92:7): When the wicked spring as the grass in spring (so numerous, so thickly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:10

But my horn shall thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn ,.... Which is said to be very high and strong, see Deuteronomy 33:17 this may be understood of the establishment of David's kingdom, of his royal authority, power, and the glory of it, signified by his horn; which was fulfilled when he had subdued the neighbouring nations, and the kings of them, and was exalted above them, and had rest from all his enemies: and may be applied unto the Messiah, the horn of David, the horn of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:11

Mine eyes also shall see my desire on mine enemies ,.... The Targum supplies thus, "shall see destruction;' Aben Ezra, shall see "the vengeance of God", as in Psalm 58:10 , and Kimchi, as we do, shall "see what I will", or "my desire"; which arose not from a revengeful spirit, or from a spirit of private revenge, but from a regard to the glory of God, and the honour of his name; and in no other view could the destruction of fellow creatures, though his enemies, be grateful to him: ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:12

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree ,.... Not like grass, as the wicked, Psalm 92:7 which is weak and tender, and soon cut down; but like trees, and like palm trees, that are firm and strong, and of a long continuance: the word for righteous being of the singular number, has led some to think that Christ is meant; but though he is eminently the righteous One, being so in himself, and the author of righteousness to others, yet not he, but his church and people, are compared to a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:10

Like the horn of a unicorn - ראים reeym , perhaps here, the oryx or buffalo. But the rhinoceros seems to be the real monoceros of the Scriptures. I shall be anointed unth fresh oil - Perhaps the allusion is here not to any sacramental anointing, but to such anointings as were frequent among the Asiatics, especially after bathing, for the purpose of health and activity. read more

Mine eye also shall see, - and mine ears shall hear - Even in my own times my enemies shall be destroyed; and of this destruction I shall either be an eye-witness or have authentic information. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:12

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree - Very different from the wicked, Psalm 92:7 , who are likened to grass. These shall have a short duration; but those shall have a long and useful life. They are compared also to the cedar of Lebanon, an incorruptible wood, and extremely long-lived. Mr. Maundrell, who visited those trees in 1697, describes them thus: "These noble trees grow among the snow, near the highest part of Lebanon. Some are very old, and of prodigious bulk. I measured... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:12

Verse 12 12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree. He now passes to the consideration of another general truth, That though God may exercise his people with many trials, subject them to hardships, and visit them with privations, he will eventually show that he had not forgotten them. We need not be surprised that he insists so explicitly and carefully upon this point, as nothing is more difficult than for the saints of God to entertain expectations of being raised up and delivered when... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Metrically, the psalm seems to divide into three portions, the first and second of four verses each ( Psalms 92:1-4 , Psalms 92:5-8 ), the third of seven verses ( Psalms 92:9-15 ). read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

The eye salve of praise. In this psalm we have— I. THE SPIRIT OF GLADSOME PRAISE . ( Psalms 92:1-4 .) The writer had evidently tried what praise could do, and the result of his testing it was this joyful outburst of praise concerning praise. He tells of its essence—giving thanks; of its expression—singing; its object—the Lord; its seasons—morning and night; its aids—music of all kinds; its inspiration—the gladness that came to him through the works of the Lord. II. A ... read more
