Psalm 92 ~ declare your steadfast love in the morning

Psalm 92

English Standard Version, David Cochran Audio


1 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
3 to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.
4 For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

5 How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep!
6 The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7 that though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
8 but you, O Lord, are on high forever.
9 For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be scattered.

10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
you have poured over me fresh oil.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

12 The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15 to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

In the Church, this is still Easter season. Without Jesus Christ, we would not have a New Covenant. I love John Paul II's quote:

We are the Easter people and Hallelujah is our song!

So, we are with the Church still celebrating Jesus Christ rising and overcoming this world. The Son of God, giving us a new Heaven and new earth. This is the fifth time in 5 years of Scripture for Today Blogspot has looked at Psalm 92. Every day regardless of the season, we declare God's overwhelming Love for you.

The Word of God is living and active, there really isn't one true meaning for any chapter of Scripture. When we read God's Word, we have an opportunity to see God's meaning for His Word for us - each day. Just as we continue to see Scripture as the outpouring of the Holy Spirit celebrating Jesus Christ as Lord, in each chapter, in each phrase.

How will you discover, today, Psalm 92 written by the Love God has for you?

It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
to declare your steadfast love in the morning,
and your faithfulness by night,
to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre.

Father God, You put a song in my heart and I remember the song "Shout to the Lord" (I sing for Joy at the Work of Your Hands!). This is a beautiful, soothing instrumental.



For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

Bring to Your Father, the joy His blessings have given you. Gratitude.

How great are your works, O Lord!
Your thoughts are very deep!
6 The stupid man cannot know;
the fool cannot understand this:
7 that though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;

We've had a very rough decade as a nation. The world has seen a troubled year. For too long we have honored self-serving attitudes as winning attitudes - individually - we have all been touched by the great pollutant of sin. It has caused us worry and unhappiness. Then we feed these attitudes to ourselves, our children, our conversations.

but you, O Lord, are on high forever.
9 For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
for behold, your enemies shall perish;
all evildoers shall be scattered.

Look up. We have God to look up to in hope.

Psalm 89:14
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.

God is for you in this life.

But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox;
you have poured over me fresh oil.
11 My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

answered as well in Psalm 3:
3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
4 I cried aloud to the Lord,
and he answered me from his holy hill.

God is always open to hear us talk with Him.

The righteous flourish like the palm tree
and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 They are planted in the house of the Lord;
they flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They still bear fruit in old age;
they are ever full of sap and green,
15 to declare that the Lord is upright;
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

John 6:35

Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst."

Father God, we claim Your promises to us in Your Word. When we read Your words of hope, of love, of promise for today and eternity; You are filling our souls in the strength and encouragement in You. In the highest name You have given us, Jesus Christ! Amen.
