Notes

Psalms 92:1

In Jewish tradition, each day of the week has an assigned psalm:

Sunday (Psalm 24)
Monday (Psalm 48)
Tuesday (Psalm 82)
Wednesday (Psalm 94)
Thursday (Psalm 81)
Friday (Psalm 93)
Saturday, which is the Sabbath (Psalm 92)

Psalms 92:1–3

The psalmist offers praise and thanksgiving for God’s loving devotion and faithfulness.

Psalms 92:1–15

This psalm begins with thanksgiving and praise. The Lord, the Most High, is fair and just in judging the godly and the wicked. The godly will have a bright and strong future, while the wicked will die.

Wise people see and understand the Lord's actions, which show his justice (Psalm 92:6–7, 11, 15). The wicked, like grass, are quickly destroyed (Psalm 92:7–10).
