Psalms 92:1

Psalms 92:1 says, A Psalm or Song for the sabbath day.  This is called a psalm or song for the Sabbath day, then verse one says, It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:  As then, today it is good to give thanks and sing praises to God, Who is the Most High.  Verse two adds, To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,  The people of Israel were called on to worship God day and night, or at all times, and so should we.  Verse three continues, Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.  Once more, they were instructed to use musical instruments in worship, so we should not believe that it is wrong to do so today.  Verse four declares, For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.  As Christians, we should be glad at the work of God Who triumphed over sin and death through the works of His hands, which was sending His Son Jesus Christ to die in our place.  Verse five adds, O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.  God's works are indeed very great and His thoughts very deep.  We can never really understand the thoughts of God, but fortunately we don't have to.  All we have to understand is that Jesus Christ died for our sins, and if we accept Him as our Savior and Lord, that is all that really matters.  Verse six says, A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.  Those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ are the brutish or stubborn ones, and are also fools because they have denied God.  Verse seven adds, When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:  Though the wicked may flourish in this lifetime, it is still their fate to be doomed forever, separated from God and His love.  Verse eight declares, But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.  God is the Most High forevermore.  We either believe this or we have not truly come to accept God as our heavenly Father.  Verse nine adds, For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.  If we have not accepted Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and Lord, then we are enemies of God and workers of iniquity.  Verse ten says, But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.  Those who do put their faith faith in God will be anointed with fresh oil.  Verse eleven adds, Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.  I believe this is saying that we as followers of Christ will see those who are our spiritual enemies destroyed one day, but I don't believe it should be our desire.  Verse twelve states, The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.  As Christians, made righteous through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, we should flourish spiritually.  Verse thirteen adds, Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.  If we would flourish in life spiritually, then we must be planted in the house of God.  Verse fourteen continues, They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;  As the psalmist stated, we as followers of Christ should still be bringing forth fruit for God, even in our old age.  Verse fifteen concludes, To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.  We worship God because He is upright and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
