Psalm 92

Welcome to episode 189 of Grasp the Bible.  In this episode, we walk through Psalm 92.  Today, we will explore some reasons to praise God: 

• A Resolution to Praise the Lord (vv. 1-4) 
• The Lord’s Great Works and Judgment on His Enemies (vv. 5-9) 
• God’s Provision for the Psalmist (vv. 10-11) 
• The Fruitfulness of the Righteous (vv. 12-15) 

Key takeaways: 

• Psalm 92 contrasts the Lord’s punishment of the wicked with His blessing on the righteous. 
• The psalmist made God his refuge and the experience was so great he could not keep from singing, nor from praising the Lord. 
• The God of the psalmist is an active God who intervenes on behalf of His worshipers. 
• Foolish people are blind because they choose not to see. The reason they do not know and will not praise God is that they do not want to know or praise Him. They actually hate Him because He is God, and they are not.  
• In the midst of wickedness, God comes as judge of the wicked and savior of the righteous.  
• There is no “injustice” in God. Surely, such a God is worthy of our praise. 

Quotable: 

• God will have the last word, and justice will be done. 

Application: 

• Our enjoyment of God is expressed in our praise of God, and when we praise God, we do indeed enjoy Him. 
• Belief in divine judgment and in the righteous imperative is an acknowledgment that divinely established boundaries of human conduct do exist. 
• Do we recognize God as the giver of the temporal benefits we enjoy? Or do we just take them for granted? Worse yet, do we boast of our accomplishments, our hard work, our victories (while blaming others, maybe God Himself, for our failures and defeats)? 
• The righteous have a fruitful future to anticipate and enjoy because, even in old age, they will continue to flourish. They do not just retire, but they continue to be productive in life. In fact, for the righteous person, old age can be the time when the long-term returns on the investment of a godly life are enjoyed.
