Notes
The Lord acts and the psalmist responds in praise (Psalm 92:4). God’s actions come from his thoughts (Psalm 92:5).
Fools perish because they do not understand the Lord’s great works and his eternal plans.
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).
