PSALM 92

. *A Psalm-song*—(see on , title). The theme: God should be praised for His righteous
judgments on the wicked and His care and defense of His people. Such
a topic, at all times proper, is specially so for the reflections of
the Sabbath day.

**1. sing . . . name**—celebrate
Thy perfections.

**2. in the morning, . . . every
night**—diligently and constantly ().
**loving kindness**—literally,
"mercy."
**faithfulness**—in
fulfilling promises ([Psalms 89:14](../../../kjv/psalms/89/14)).

**3.** In such a work all proper aid
must be used.
**with a . . . sound**—or,
*on Higgaion* (see on ), perhaps an instrument of that name, from its sound
resembling the muttered sound of meditation, as expressed also by the
word. This is joined with the harp.

**4. thy work**—that is, of
providence ([Psalms 90:16](../../../kjv/psalms/90/16); [Psalms 90:17](../../../kjv/psalms/90/17)).

**5. great . . . works**—correspond
to *deep* or *vast* thoughts ([Psalms 40:5](../../../kjv/psalms/40/5);
[Romans 11:23](../../../kjv/romans/11/23)).

**6. A brutish man knoweth not**—that
is, God's works, so the Psalmist describes himself () when amazed by the prosperity of the wicked, now
understood and explained.

**8.** This he does in part, by
contrasting their ruin with God's exaltation and eternity.
**most high**—as occupying
the highest place in heaven ([Psalms 7:7](../../../kjv/psalms/7/7);
[Psalms 18:16](../../../kjv/psalms/18/16)).

**9, 10.** A further contrast with
the wicked, in the lot of the righteous, safety and triumph.

**10. horn . . . exalt**—is to
increase power ([Psalms 75:5](../../../kjv/psalms/75/5)).
**anointed . . . fresh**—or,
"new"
**oil**— ([Psalms 75:5](../../../kjv/psalms/75/5)) a figure for refreshment (compare [Psalms 75:5](../../../kjv/psalms/75/5)). Such use of oil is still common in the East.

**11. see . . .** [and] **. . .
hear my desire**—or, literally, "look on" my enemies
and hear of the wicked (compare [Psalms 27:11](../../../kjv/psalms/27/11);
[Psalms 54:7](../../../kjv/psalms/54/7)) —that is, I shall be
gratified by their fall.

**12-14.** The vigorous growth,
longevity, utility, fragrance, and beauty of these noble trees, set
forth the life, character, and destiny of the pious;

**15.** and they thus declare God's
glory as their strong and righteous ruler.
