Psalm 92:5

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 92:4-5

Psalms 92:4-5. For thou hast made me glad through thy work, &c. Which thou didst create by thine almighty power, and dost still govern with infinite wisdom. “A prospect of creation, in the vernal season,” says Dr. Horne, “fallen as it is, inspires the mind with joy, which no words can express. But how doth the regenerate soul exult and triumph at beholding that work of God’s hands whereby he creates all things anew in Christ Jesus! If we can be pleased with such a world as this, where... 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

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)."

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
