The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

The eye salve of praise. In this psalm we have— I. THE SPIRIT OF GLADSOME PRAISE . ( Psalms 92:1-4 .) The writer had evidently tried what praise could do, and the result of his testing it was this joyful outburst of praise concerning praise. He tells of its essence—giving thanks; of its expression—singing; its object—the Lord; its seasons—morning and night; its aids—music of all kinds; its inspiration—the gladness that came to him through the works of the Lord. II. A ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 92:1

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord - literally, “Good is it to give thanks unto Jehovah.” That is, the act is appropriate; the effect is good.(1) The thing itself is appropriate, for there is much, under all circumstances, to be thankful for: life, health, food, raiment, air, water, friends, recollections, hopes - and, above all, the blessings of redemption, and the assurance that we may be happy forever. Many of these things may be found in the condition of all; but if all else... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 92:1-2

Psalms 92:1-2. It is a good thing to give thanks, &c. It is a good work, and a just debt, which is due from us to God; to show forth thy loving- kindness, &c. To adore and celebrate thy goodness and truth continually, and especially at those two solemn times of morning and evening, which, on every day, and particularly upon the sabbath day, were devoted to the worship and service of God. 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

PSALM 92PRAISING THE GREATNESS OF GODThe superscription refers to this psalm as, "A song for the sabbath day," meaning, no doubt, that it was used by the Jews as part of their worship on each sabbath day.In this connection, we were intrigued by a comment of Albert Barnes. "The Chaldee Paraphrase has this for the title, `A song which the first man spoke for the sabbath day.'... We have no proof of what would be so interesting a fact of our having a genuine poetic composition of Adam."[1] Such a... read more

Psalms 92:0. The prophet exhorteth to praise God, for his great works, for his judgments on the wicked, and for his goodness to the godly. A Psalm or Song for the Sabbath-day. Title. השׁבת ליום שׁיר מזמרו mizmor shiir leiom hash-shabbath.— This psalm was used by the Jews in their public services on the Sabbath-day. The rabbis pretend that it was written by Adam.
