Psalm 92

Psalm 92 is “a song for the sabbath”. It is designed for reflection and meditation on all the things that God has done and given to us. “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name… at the works of your hands I sing for joy … how great are your works, O Lord! … you, O Lord, are on high forever.”

The Psalm concludes by describing characteristics of the righteous. They are like a palm or a cedar tree, living in the house of the Lord, flourishing, healthy. They “declare that the Lord is upright; he is my rock”.

This psalm really emphasises God’s exalted position, how powerful He is, and the need for us to plant our lives close to His influence, to be nourished and built close to Him.
