92:1(A Psalm [or] Song for the a sabbath day.) [It is a]
good [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing
praises unto thy name, O most High:
(a) Which teaches that the use of the Sabbath stands in
praising God, and not only in ceasing from work.
92:2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the b morning, and
thy faithfulness every night,
(b) For God's mercy and fidelity in his promises toward
his, bind them to praise him continually both day and
night.
92:3 Upon an c instrument of ten strings, and upon the
psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
(c) These instruments were then permitted in the Church
as also they are now. (Ed.)
92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy d work: I
will triumph in the works of thy hands.
(d) He shows the use of the Sabbath day: that is, to
meditate God's works.
92:6 A e brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool
understand this.
(e) That is, the wicked do not consider God's works nor his
judgments against them, and therefore most justly
perish.
92:8 But thou, LORD, [art f most] high for evermore.
(f) Your judgments are most constant against the wicked and
pass our reach.
92:10g But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an
unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
(g) You will strengthen them with all power, and bless
them with all happiness.
92:12 The righteous shall h flourish like the palm tree: he
shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
(h) Though the faithful seem to whither and be cut down by
the wicked, yet they will grow again and flourish in
the Church of God as the cedars do in mount Lebanon.
92:14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old i age; they
shall be fat and flourishing;
(i) The children of God will have a power above nature and
their age will bring forth fresh fruit.
