Psalms 92:2

To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, TO SHOW FORTH THY LOVING-KINDNESS IN THE MORNING, AND THY FAITHFULNESS EVERY NIGHT - Hebrew, 'in the nights.' Morning and nights comprehend the whole day (). Praise to God is to be never-ceasing (; ; ). The times of morning and evening sacrifice on the Sabbath day are especially alluded to, when the psalm was intended to be sung in the public service of the sanctuary (). The Lord's "loving-kindness" and "faithfulness" are the attributes of Yahweh, which guarantee the salvation of His people....

1-6 It is a privilege that we are admitted to praise the Lord, and hope to be accepted in the morning, and every night; not only on sabbath days, but every day; not only in public, but in private, and in our families. Let us give thanks every morning for the mercies of the night, and every night for the mercies of the day; going out, and coming in, let us bless God. As He makes us glad, through the works of his providence for us, and of his grace in us, and both through the great work of redemption, let us hence be encouraged. As there are many who know not the designs of Providence, nor care to know them, those who through grace do so, have the more reason to be thankful. And if distant views of the great Deliverer so animated believers of old, how should we abound in love and praise!...

Verse Psalms 92:2. _TO SHOW FORTH THY LOVING-KINDNESS_] חסדך _chasdecha_, thy abundant mercy, _in the morning _- that has preserved me throughout the night, and brought me to the beginning of a new day: _and thy faithfulness in the night_, that has so amply fulfilled the promise of preservation during the course of the day. This verse contains a general plan for morning and evening prayer....

TO SHOW FORTH THY LOVING-KINDNESS - To celebrate thy mercy; thy goodness; thy love. IN THE MORNING - That is, there is a fitness in doing this in the morning; or, there are special reasons why we should do this at that time. (a) We have been preserved through the dangers of the night; dangers when we were asleep, unconscious, and defenseless. (b) Life is then, as it were, a new gift - for we are raised from “the image of death” - sleep - and we should regard life then “as if” we had been raised from the dead. (c) To praise God in the morning will have a good influence on us, in promoting cheerfulness; in making us benignant and kind; in preparing us for the toils and trials of the day. There is no better preparation for a day, in view of its burdens, cares,

EXPOSITION THIS psalm is entitled, "a Psalm or Song for the sabbath day," and was therefore, we may conclude, intended for liturgical use in the temple on that weekly festival. Jewish tradition says that it was sung in the morning at the time of the drink offering of the first lamb. It was also, we are told, recited on the second day of the Feast of Tabernacles ('Middoth,' Psalms 2:5). The psalm is altogether one of praise and thanksgiving. It is optimistic, looking forward to the complete destruction of all God's enemies (Psalms 92:7), and the complete triumph and happiness of his faithful ones (Psalms 92:10). Some Jewish commentators viewed it as descriptive of the final sabbath of the world

TO SHOW FORTH THY LOVINGKINDNESS IN THE MORNING,.... God has shown forth his lovingkindness in Christ, and Christ has shown it in a ministerial way; and saints should show it forth also with their lips, to warm the hearts of one another, and encourage distressed minds; this should be a part, and a considerable one, of their thanksgiving and praise; as it will appear to be, when the objects of it are considered, not angels, but men, and these the worst and vilest; the instances of it in election, redemption, calling, adoption, and eternal life; and the freeness, earliness, and immovableness of it; and this is to be done in the "morning", not of the sabbath day only, but every other day, giving praise and thanks for the mercies of the night. Jarchi interprets it of the time of salvation: AND THY FAITHFULNESS EVERY NIGHT: or "in the nights" b; not the night and goings out of the sabbath on...

Psalms 92:1. _It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:_ It is good in itself; it is good for those who hear it; but it is especially good for our own hearts to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto the name of the Most High. Sometimes, when we are very heavy in spirit, if we would take care not to defraud the Lord of the revenue of praise that is due unto him, we should find that the readiest way to bring comfort to ourselves is to sing praises unto his holy name. Brother and sisters in Christ, it is not very notable work to praise God when all things go well with us; it is far grander work to praise him when everything seems to be against us. It is because the nightingale doth sing by night that he hath such excellence among the birds, and if you and I can praise God in the dark, then we shall find that it is a go

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 in

XCII. IN PRAISE OF PROVIDENCE. God's counsels are too deep for the stupid man. But in fact the prosperity of the wicked is superficial. PSALMS 92:10_ b_. Read, Thou hast sprinkled me with fresh oil....
