Psalm 92
1. The prophet exhorts to praise God
4. For his great works
6. For his judgments on the wicked
10. And for his goodness to the godly.














to declare
The phrase "to declare" in this context is derived from the Hebrew word "nagad," which means to make known, announce, or proclaim. This word carries the connotation of a public declaration, emphasizing the importance of vocalizing and sharing the truth. In the context of Psalm 92, it suggests an active and intentional effort to communicate God's attributes and deeds. Historically, the act of declaring God's works was central to the worship practices of the Israelites, who were encouraged to recount God's faithfulness and mighty acts to each generation.

that the LORD
The term "LORD" is translated from the Hebrew "Yahweh," the personal name of God revealed to Moses in the burning bush (Exodus 3:14). This name signifies God's eternal, self-existent nature and His covenant relationship with His people. In the context of Psalm 92, invoking the name "Yahweh" underscores the personal and relational aspect of God's character, reminding believers of His faithfulness and unchanging nature throughout history.

is upright
The word "upright" comes from the Hebrew "yashar," meaning straight, right, or just. This term is often used in the Old Testament to describe moral integrity and righteousness. Declaring that the LORD is upright affirms His perfect justice and moral purity. In a world where human standards often falter, this proclamation reassures believers of God's unwavering righteousness and His role as the ultimate standard of truth and justice.

He is my Rock
The metaphor "Rock" is translated from the Hebrew word "tsur," which conveys strength, stability, and protection. In ancient times, rocks and cliffs were seen as places of refuge and safety, providing shelter from enemies and storms. By declaring God as "my Rock," the psalmist expresses personal trust and reliance on God's unchanging nature and His ability to provide security and refuge in times of trouble. This imagery is consistent throughout Scripture, where God is often depicted as a fortress and a stronghold for His people.

and there is no unrighteousness in Him
The phrase "no unrighteousness" is a powerful affirmation of God's absolute purity and holiness. The Hebrew word for unrighteousness, "avel," denotes injustice, iniquity, or moral wrong. By stating that there is no unrighteousness in God, the psalmist emphasizes His perfect holiness and the absence of any moral flaw. This declaration serves as a reminder of God's impeccable character and His role as the ultimate judge who administers justice with complete fairness and integrity. It reassures believers that they can trust in God's righteous nature and His sovereign governance over all creation.

Verse 15. - To show that the Lord is upright. The happy and flourishing old age of the righteous (ver. 14; comp. Psalm 91:16) is a strong indication of God's faithfulness and truth, showing, as its does, that he keeps his promises, and never forsakes those that put their trust in him (comp. Psalm 27:10; Psalm 37:25; Isaiah 41:17, etc.). He is my Rock - rather, that he is my Rock - and that there is no unrighteousness in him. Both clauses depend on the "show" of the preceding hemistich.
