Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 92:1-6

This psalm was appointed to be sung, at least it usually was sung, in the house of the sanctuary on the sabbath day, that day of rest, which was an instituted memorial of the work of creation, of God's rest from that work, and the continuance of it in his providence; for the Father worketh hitherto. Note, 1. The sabbath day must be a day, not only of holy rest, but of holy work, and the rest is in order to the work. 2. The proper work of the sabbath is praising God; every sabbath day must be a... read more

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 92:6

A brutish man knoweth not ,.... The lovingkindness of the Lord, and his faithfulness, nor how to show them forth, nor his great works and deep thoughts; man was made originally far above the brute creatures, and had them all under his dominion; but, sinning, became like the beasts that perish; and is in Scripture often compared to one or other of them, as the horse, ass, &c.; a brutish man is one that only knows things naturally, as brute beasts do, and in which also he corrupts himself;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:7

When the wicked spring as the grass ,.... Out of the earth, as they do, and are of the earth earthly, and become numerous as spires of grass, and look pleasant and beautiful for a while, as that does; but, like it, weak and unstable, and of a short continuance: and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish ; in the health of their bodies; not being afflicted as other men, and their eyes standing out with fatness; while a Job, an upright man, is smitten with boils from the crown of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:6

A brutish man knoweth not - בער איש ish baar , the human hog - the stupid bear - the boor; the man who is all flesh; in whom spirit or intellect neither seems to work nor exist. The brutish man, who never attempts to see God in his works. Neither doth a fool understand this - כסיל kesil , the fool, is different from בער baar , the brutish man; the latter has mind, but it is buried in flesh; the former has no mind, and his stupidity is unavoidable. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:7

When the wicked spring as the grass - This is a lesson which is frequently inculcated in the sacred writings. The favor of God towards man is not to be known by outward prosperity; nor is his disapprobation to be known by the adverse circumstances in which any person may be found. When, however, we see the wicked flourish, we may take for granted that their abuse of God's mercies will cause him to cut them off as cumberers of the ground; and, dying in their sins, they are destroyed for ever. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:6

Verse 6 6The foolish man shall not know them. This is added with propriety, to let us know that the fault lies with ourselves, in not praising the Divine judgments as we ought. For although the Psalmist had spoken of them as deep and mysterious, he here informs us that they would be discerned without difficulty, were it not for our stupidity and indifference. By the foolish, he means unbelievers in general, tacitly contrasting them with believers who are divinely enlightened by the word and... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:7

Verse 7 7When the wicked flourish as the grass. He points out, and exposes, by a striking and appropriate figure, the folly of imagining that the wicked obtain a triumph over God, when he does not, it may be, immediately bring them under restraint. He makes an admission so far — he grants that they spring up and flourish — but adds immediately, by way of qualification, that they flourish, like the grass, only for a moment, their prosperity being brief and evanescent. In this way he removes what... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:1-8

Joyful worship. "Celebrates in joyful strain the greatness of God's works, and especially his righteous government of the world, as manifested in the overthrow of the wicked, and the prosperity and final triumph of the righteous." I. A GOOD MAN REJOICES IN THE RIGHTEOUS WORK OF GOD . ( Psalms 92:4 .) 1 . Because God ' s work is a work of loving kindness. ( Psalms 92:2 .) 2 . It is a work of faithfulness or truth. ( Psalms 92:2 .) He fulfils every... read more
