Circadian rhythm is the 24-hour internal clock of many creatures. Set yours by following verse 2!
Just in case we haven’t realized this yet in perusing the first 91 psalms, Psalm 92 will tell us again: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name, O Most High; to declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, and Your faithfulness every night” (vv 1-2). As the title states, this is written especially “for the Sabbath day.” The psalm seems to be designed on the pattern of seven. Seven times the name of YHWH (Jehovah) is used (vv 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, 13, 15). Verse 8, in the middle, is the only single-statement verse, declaring, “But You, Lord, are on high forevermore.” This is the watershed idea. The first 7 verses draw a contrast between a praising saint (vv 1-4) and a senseless, foolish, wicked worker of iniquity (vv 6-7). In between are the words, “O Lord, how great are Your works! Your thoughts are very deep” (v 5). The believer delights in them, but the unbeliever despises them. Following verse 8, there is a second contrast. We are told that such “enemies shall perish” and “all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered” (v 9). He then introduces the wonderful prospects of a trusting soul (vv 10-15): to be exalted and anointed (v 10), to conquer (v 11), to flourish and bear bountiful fruit (vv 12-14). Doesn’t this take us back to Psalm 1? But see the difference. In Psalm 1, the righteous are growing like a tree and the wicked are blowing like the chaff. In this psalm, the word “flourish” is applied to both the wicked and the faithful (Ps 92:7, 12). But the flourishing of the wicked is short-lived. Remember that middle verse! The word “forevermore” makes all the difference. The wicked may seem to succeed for a time, but soon death sweeps away all they have. Believers, by contrast, have their true riches awaiting them.
