Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92

A Psalm of Praise

1. Praise for His works (Psalms 92:1)

2. The enemies who perish (Psalms 92:6)

3. The happy lot of the righteous (Psalms 92:10)

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 hast made me glad through Thy work--I will triumph in the work of Thy hands.” Then the wicked shall perish, and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered, while the saints of God shall flourish like the palm tree.
