Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92In this psalm, the unknown writer praised God for the goodness of His acts and the righteousness of His character."Psalms 90-92 are united by the development of concepts and the repetition of vocabulary. These psalms lead the worshiper from a meditation on the transiency of life (Psalms 90), a call for wisdom (Psalms 91), to a climactic celebration of divine deliverance and protection (Psalms 92)."

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:1-15

This is a Ps. of praise, called forth by some special manifestation of God’s loving-kindness. This general theme is set forth in Psalms 92:1-4.

Casaubon was one of the most learned men of his age, and truly devout. He was so humble and reticent, that some doubted his religious... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92:1-15AUTHORITIES differ in their arrangement of this psalm. Clearly, the first three verses are a prelude; and if these are left out of account, the remainder of the psalm consists of twelve verses, which fall into two groups of six each, the former of which mainly deals with the brief prosperity and final overthrow of the wicked, while the latter paints the converse truth of the security and blessedness of the righteous. Both illustrate the depth of God’s works and purposes, which is... read more
