Psalm 92:13 ESV

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 92:1-15

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'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

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 92:13-14

After what the preceding verse said of Jesus, the characters of his people are here beautifully introduced. They are called trees of righteousness, of the Lord's right-hand planting. And from being branches of their living Head, they bring forth fruit unto God. Isaiah 61:3 . read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:7-15

7-15 God sometimes grants prosperity to wicked men in displeasure; yet they flourish but for a moment. Let us seek for ourselves the salvation and grace of the gospel, that being daily anointed by the Holy Spirit, we may behold and share the Redeemer's glory. It is from his grace, by his word and Spirit, that believers receive all the virtue that keeps them alive, and makes them fruitful. Other trees, when old, leave off bearing, but in God's trees the strength of grace does not fail with the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Gladness and Growth Psalms 92:1-15 The inscription alludes to the suitability of this psalm for the Sabbath day. Psalms 92:1-3 contain the general statement of the desirability of praise and thanksgiving. Psalms 92:4-5 suggest that God’s work in creation, providence, and grace should elicit perpetual thanksgiving; but that the thoughts and purposes which underlie them are too deep for our fathoming. Two classes of men are here mentioned: the brutish and wicked, Psalms 92:6-9 ; the servants... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 92:1-15

THIS is a song of praise. The seemliness of praise is first declared (vv. Psa 92:1-3 ); and then reasons for it are given (vv. Psa 92:4-15 ). Praise is good as the first exercise of the day and also as the last. Lovingkindness in the morning, the sense of all the provision made for us as we face the responsibilities and conflicts of the day. Faithfulness at night, the conviction that Jehovah has been true to His covenant, through all the hours of need. The song proceeds to rejoice first in... read more
