Psalms 92 — Jamieson–Fausset–Brown
92:1
1. sing ... name--celebrate Thy perfections.
92:2
2. in the morning, ... every night--diligently and constantly (Psa 42:8). loving kindness--literally, "mercy." faithfulness--in fulfilling promises (Psa 89:14).
92:3
3. In such a work all proper aid must be used. with a ... sound--or, on Higgaion (see on Psa 9:16), 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.
92:4
4. thy work--that is, of providence (Psa 90:16, 17).
92:5
5. great ... works--correspond to deep or vast thoughts (Psa 40:5; Ro 11:23).
92:6
6. A brutish man knoweth not--that is, God's works, so the Psalmist describes himself (Psa 73:22) when amazed by the prosperity of the wicked, now understood and explained.
92:8
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 (Psa 7:7; 18:16).
92:9–10
9-10. A further contrast with the wicked, in the lot of the righteous, safety and triumph.
92:11
11. see ... [and] ... hear my desire--or, literally, "look on" my enemies and hear of the wicked (compare Psa 27:11; 54:7)--that is, I shall be gratified by their fall.
92:12–14
12-14. The vigorous growth, longevity, utility, fragrance, and beauty of these noble trees, set forth the life, character, and destiny of the pious;
92:15
15. and they thus declare God's glory as their strong and righteous ruler.
