Notes

Psalms 92:4–5

The Lord acts and the psalmist responds in praise (Psalm 92:4). God’s actions come from his thoughts (Psalm 92:5).

Psalms 92:5–6

The Lord’s thoughts confuse those who lack understanding or act foolishly, and those who do not seek wisdom (Proverbs 1:22; 10:23).

Psalms 92:4–7

Fools perish because they do not understand the Lord’s great works and his eternal plans.

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).
