Psalm 92
Overview
92:1 The prophet exhorts to praise God,
92:4 for his great works;
92:6 for his judgments on the wicked;
92:10 and for his goodness to the godly.
Calmet and others suppose this Psalm to have been composed by some of the Levites during or near the close of the Babylonian captivity, acknowledging the mercy of God, and foreseeing the destruction of their enemies, and their own return to Jerusalem and the temple service.
