Psalms 92:1

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

Psalms 92:1.-Introduction; the privilege of praising Yahweh early and late for His works (Psalms 92:1); His greatness in destroying the wicked (Psalms 92:5). Center of the psalm: God is most high forevermore, even when sinners seem high, and saints low (); Destruction of the wicked-salvation of the righteous (Psalms 92:9); cf. Psalms 37:1; Psalms 49:1; Psalms 73:1. Here doubts arising from the prosperity of sinners are overcome by leading us into the midst of God's praises in the sanctuary ().

Title. - A Psalm or Song (a song of joyful praise) for the sabbath day. As Psalms 81:1 was intended for use at the Passover, so this psalm is for the "holy convocation" on "the Sabbath" (). On it the Church is to 'rest from her own works,' and to 'triumph in the Lord's work' () in saving her and destroying her foes. Yarchi and the Talmudic Quodshim explain the title, 'A psalm-song for the future age (the age of Messiah), all of which will be sabbath.' Christ's redeeming work will be the grand theme of the coming sabbatical age, (, margin.)

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord - It is good to praise Him who is all good ().
