Praise to the Lord for His Love and Faithfulness

A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath day.

1 It is agood to give thanks to the Lord,
And to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; 
2 To adeclare Your lovingkindness in the morning,
And Your faithfulness every night, 
3 aOn an instrument of ten strings,
On the lute,
And on the harp,
With harmonious sound. 
4 For You, Lord, have made me glad through Your work;
I will triumph in the works of Your hands.
5 aO Lord, how great are Your works!
bYour thoughts are very deep. 
6 aA senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this. 
7 When athe wicked spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever. 
8 aBut You, Lord, are on high forevermore. 
9 For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall abe scattered. 
10 But amy horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been banointed with fresh oil. 
11 aMy eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
My ears hear my desire on the wicked
Who rise up against me. 
12 aThe righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 
13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be1 fresh and flourishing, 
15 To declare that the Lord is upright;
aHe is my rock, and bthere is no unrighteousness in Him.

What Does Psalms 92:1 Mean?



Psalm 92:1

We should give thanks to Him, first, because it is good for us to do. It is good for God too. Although He does not need our thanks, He is glad when His children offer them. It is certainly beneficial for us. In contrast to the dangers of ingratitude, the benefits of a thankful attitude include:

» Guarding against ungodly attitudes and works.

» Subduing what one commentator calls "man's potentially animal-like nature."

» Teaching God's "way of give," as we give thanks.

» Promoting good spiritual, mental, moral and physical health.

In addition, it is common sense to thank God when He has answered our prayers. After all, we undoubtedly will need help again!

Psalm 92:1

Thankfulness is offered as a spiritual sacrifice. It is given in combination with other spiritual sacrifices. As a spiritual sacrifice, thanksgiving can be offered in the form of a prayer and/or praise. Prayer, praise, and thanksgiving are almost inseparable, and they are most often offered together. Thankfulness is a peace offering (Leviticus 7:11-13). It produces peace (I Timothy 2:1-2).
