Psalm 92:4

James Burton Coffman
Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 92:4
THE GREAT WORKS OF GOD"For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work:I will triumph in the works of thy hands.How great are thy works, O Jehovah!Thy thoughts are very deep.A brutish man knoweth not;Neither doth a fool understand this!""Made me glad through thy work" (Psalms 92:4). It is not clear just which works of God gladdened the heart of the psalmist; perhaps the gladness was from "all" of the works of God. Rawlinson supposed that it was probably, "God's work of providence in the... read more

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)."

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 92:4-7
The psalmist gloried in the Lord’s goodness to him, which was evident in His acts for him. God’s thoughts, as He revealed them to His prophets and in His Word, also drew the writer’s praise. These revelations helped him understand what God was doing. He understood, as those who do not benefit from God’s revelation cannot, that the prosperity of the wicked is only temporary. read more

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. Psalms 92:5-11 contain reflections on the meaning of God’s works, a meaning which is hidden from the foolish (Psalms 92:6). The wicked seem to flourish only that they may be destroyed (Psalms 92:7). God is supreme, and His enemies must perish (Psalms 92:8-9). This has been proved in the experience of the Psalmist, or of the nation for which he speaks... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Psalms 92:4
(4) The Vulgate rendering of this verse is quoted by Dante in a beautiful passage descriptive of the happiness which flows from delight in the beauty of the works of God in nature. But the reference is to the works in history, not in nature. The psalmist is really expressing his gladness at God’s wonders wrought for Israel. (Comp. Psalms 90:15-16,” Make us glad . . . let thy work appear unto thy servants.) read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Psalms 92:1-15
Psalms 92:0 Is called by Dante ( Purg . XXVIII 80), Il Salmo Delectasti, because, in the Vulgate, the 4th verse begins with the words, 'Thou hast made me glad'. A beautiful female form, representing the higher life, is introduced as saying, 'She is so happy because she can sing like the Psalm Delectasti, "Thou, Lord, hast made me glad through Thy work"'. 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

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15
Psalms 92-93 God’s rule in an evil worldAccording to the title, Psalms 92:0 was for use on the Sabbath. God is pleased when people cease their ordinary work for a day in order to engage in worshipping him and proclaiming his love (92:1-4). As they meditate upon the nature of God, their thinking will be changed. They will see from God’s point of view and will understand things that are misunderstood by the ordinary person. They will see, for instance, that they need not puzzle over why the... read more
