psalm-92:6-9

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

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 92:6

A brutish man knoweth not ,.... The lovingkindness of the Lord, and his faithfulness, nor how to show them forth, nor his great works and deep thoughts; man was made originally far above the brute creatures, and had them all under his dominion; but, sinning, became like the beasts that perish; and is in Scripture often compared to one or other of them, as the horse, ass, &c.; a brutish man is one that only knows things naturally, as brute beasts do, and in which also he corrupts himself;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:7

When the wicked spring as the grass ,.... Out of the earth, as they do, and are of the earth earthly, and become numerous as spires of grass, and look pleasant and beautiful for a while, as that does; but, like it, weak and unstable, and of a short continuance: and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish ; in the health of their bodies; not being afflicted as other men, and their eyes standing out with fatness; while a Job, an upright man, is smitten with boils from the crown of the... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:8

But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore ,.... God is "the most High"; that is one of his names; he is above all, is higher than the highest; and he dwells on high, and looks down upon the inhabitants of the earth, and sees what is doing among them; and to him they will be accountable another day for what they do; and when wicked, men perish, being destroyed, he will continue for ever in all his greatness, glory, and majesty; for there seems to be an antithesis in this verse to the former,... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:9

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord ,.... The particle "lo", or "behold", is not used for the sake of God, but for the sake of men; to excite their attention, and to observe unto them that those who are everlastingly destroyed are the enemies of the Lord; who are enemies in their minds by wicked works, yea, enmity itself against God; and therefore their perdition is just as well as certain; sooner or later these shall be brought forth and slain before him; and for the certainty of it is repeated,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:6

A brutish man knoweth not - בער איש ish baar , the human hog - the stupid bear - the boor; the man who is all flesh; in whom spirit or intellect neither seems to work nor exist. The brutish man, who never attempts to see God in his works. Neither doth a fool understand this - כסיל kesil , the fool, is different from בער baar , the brutish man; the latter has mind, but it is buried in flesh; the former has no mind, and his stupidity is unavoidable. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:7

When the wicked spring as the grass - This is a lesson which is frequently inculcated in the sacred writings. The favor of God towards man is not to be known by outward prosperity; nor is his disapprobation to be known by the adverse circumstances in which any person may be found. When, however, we see the wicked flourish, we may take for granted that their abuse of God's mercies will cause him to cut them off as cumberers of the ground; and, dying in their sins, they are destroyed for ever. read more

High for evermore - They are brought down and destroyed; but the Lord is exalted eternally, both for his judgments and his mercies. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:6

Verse 6 6The foolish man shall not know them. This is added with propriety, to let us know that the fault lies with ourselves, in not praising the Divine judgments as we ought. For although the Psalmist had spoken of them as deep and mysterious, he here informs us that they would be discerned without difficulty, were it not for our stupidity and indifference. By the foolish, he means unbelievers in general, tacitly contrasting them with believers who are divinely enlightened by the word and... read more
