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. 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

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

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

Psalms 92:0 A Psalm of Praise 1. Praise for His works (Psalms 92:1-5 ) 2. The enemies who perish (Psalms 92:6-9 ) 3. The happy lot of the righteous (Psalms 92:10-15 ) The inscription tells us it is a Psalm for the Sabbath day. The rest for His people comes when the Lord arises, delivers them, and the enemies perish. This Psalm looks forward to that rest, the coming great Lord’s day. The praise is on account of the work Jehovah has done, His redemption work in behalf of His people. “Thou... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Psalms 92:0 (Note On The Ninety-Second Psalm.) [Note. A psalm of Sabbath musings. Not known whether it expresses the religious feelings of Israel generally after the restoration, or whether it owes its origin to any special event. The Talmud says that this psalm was sung on the morning of the Sabbath, at the drink-offering which followed the sacrifice of the first lamb ( Num 28:9 ). It is a disputed question, even in the Talmud, whether this psalm relates to the Sabbath or the creation, or to... read more
