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 92:12

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree ,.... Not like grass, as the wicked, Psalm 92:7 which is weak and tender, and soon cut down; but like trees, and like palm trees, that are firm and strong, and of a long continuance: the word for righteous being of the singular number, has led some to think that Christ is meant; but though he is eminently the righteous One, being so in himself, and the author of righteousness to others, yet not he, but his church and people, are compared to a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:13

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord, .... Or being planted F5 שתולים "plantati", Pagninus, Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, &c.; , that is, everyone of the righteous before mentioned; such are they that are planted out of the wilderness of the world, and into Christ, and are rooted in him, and are planted together in the likeness of his death and resurrection; have the graces of the Spirit of God implanted in them, have received the ingrafted word; and, in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:14

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age ,.... Being thus planted and watered, they shall not only bring forth the fruits of righteousness, but shall continue, and go on to do so, and even when they are grown old; contrary to all other trees, which, when old, cease bearing fruit; but so do not the righteous; grace is often in the greatest vigour when nature is decayed; witness Abraham, Job, David, Zachariah, and Elisabeth, and good old Simeon, who went to the grave like shocks of corn,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:15

To show that the Lord is upright ,.... Or righteous, that is, faithful; as he is in his counsels, covenant, and promises, which he makes good by causing his people to grow and flourish, and become fruitful; by carrying on the work of grace upon their souls, and by preserving them to the end safe to his kingdom and glory; by all which it appears that he does not and will not suffer his faithfulness to fail: the Targum is, "that the inhabitants of the earth may show, &c.;' he is my... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:12

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree - Very different from the wicked, Psalm 92:7 , who are likened to grass. These shall have a short duration; but those shall have a long and useful life. They are compared also to the cedar of Lebanon, an incorruptible wood, and extremely long-lived. Mr. Maundrell, who visited those trees in 1697, describes them thus: "These noble trees grow among the snow, near the highest part of Lebanon. Some are very old, and of prodigious bulk. I measured... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:13

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord - I believe the Chaldee has the true meaning here: "His children shall be planted in the house of the sanctuary of the Lord, and shall flourish in the courts of our God." As these trees flourish in their respective soils and climates, so shall the righteous in the ordinances of God. I do not think there is any allusion to either palm-trees or cedars, planted near the tabernacle or temple. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:14

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age - They shall continue to grow in grace, and be fruitful to the end of their lives. It is a rare case to find a man in old age full of faith, love, and spiritual activity. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:15

To show that the Lord is upright - Such persons show how faithful God is to his promises, how true to his word, how kind to them who trust in him. He is the Rock, the Fountain, whence all good comes. There is no unrighteousness in him - He does nothing evil, nothing unwise, nothing unkind. He is both just and merciful. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:12

Verse 12 12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree. He now passes to the consideration of another general truth, That though God may exercise his people with many trials, subject them to hardships, and visit them with privations, he will eventually show that he had not forgotten them. We need not be surprised that he insists so explicitly and carefully upon this point, as nothing is more difficult than for the saints of God to entertain expectations of being raised up and delivered when... read more
