Psalms 92
1[A Psalm, a Song for the sabbath day]. It is a good thing to give thanks unto Jehovah, And to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High;
2To show forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,
3With an instrument of ten strings, and with the psaltery; With a solemn sound upon the harp.
4For thou, Jehovah, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:
7When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.
8But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree: He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the house of Jehovah; They shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; They shall be full of sap and green:
15To show that Jehovah is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Psalms 92:1-6 Verses 1-6
It is a privilege that we are admitted to praise the Lord, and hope to be accepted in the morning, and every night; not only on sabbath days, but every day; not only in public, but in private, and in our families. Let us give thanks every morning for the mercies of the night, and every night for the mercies of the day; going out, and coming in, let us bless God. As He makes us glad, through the works of his providence for us, and of his grace in us, and both through the great work of redemption, let us hence be encouraged. As there are many who know not the designs of Providence, nor care to know them, those who through grace do so, have the more reason to be thankful. And if distant views of the great Deliverer so animated believers of old, how should we abound in love and praise!
Psalms 92:7-15 Verses 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 strength of nature. The last days of the saints are sometimes their best days, and their last work their best work: perseverance is sure evidence of sincerity. And may every sabbath, while it shows forth the Divine faithfulness, find our souls resting more and more upon the Lord our righteousness.
