Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 92:1-6

This psalm was appointed to be sung, at least it usually was sung, in the house of the sanctuary on the sabbath day, that day of rest, which was an instituted memorial of the work of creation, of God's rest from that work, and the continuance of it in his providence; for the Father worketh hitherto. Note, 1. The sabbath day must be a day, not only of holy rest, but of holy work, and the rest is in order to the work. 2. The proper work of the sabbath is praising God; every sabbath day must be a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:2

To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning ,.... God has shown forth his lovingkindness in Christ, and Christ has shown it in a ministerial way; and saints should show it forth also with their lips, to warm the hearts of one another, and encourage distressed minds; this should be a part, and a considerable one, of their thanksgiving and praise; as it will appear to be, when the objects of it are considered, not angels, but men, and these the worst and vilest; the instances of it in... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:2

To show forth thy loving kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night. The suitableness of worship every morning and evening has been almost universally felt. The Mosaic Law provided for it by the establishment of the morning and evening sacrifice ( Exodus 29:38 , Exodus 29:39 ), with the accompanying ritual. Jewish piety added a noonday prayer ( Psalms 55:17 ; Daniel 6:10 ), and Christian zeal established the "seven hours of prayer." Morning and evening still, however,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 92:2

To show forth thy loving-kindness - To celebrate thy mercy; thy goodness; thy love.In the morning - That is, there is a fitness in doing this in the morning; or, there are special reasons why we should do this at that time.(a) We have been preserved through the dangers of the night; dangers when we were asleep, unconscious, and defenseless.(b) Life is then, as it were, a new gift - for we are raised from “the image of death” - sleep - and we should regard life then “as if” we had been raised... 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
