Psalms 92:1

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

1It is good to praise the Lord

and make music to your name, O Most High,

Reflection:

The Bible is a love story of God’s love, God’s unfailing, steadfast, never-ending love. This recurring theme reverberates through the pages of the Bible. It’s there at the beginning, the middle and the end.

This is how much God loves you:

‘For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.’

John 3:16

This is the climax of the God’s love story. He lavishes his love on us with such extravagance, generosity and graciousness. Christian reader, this love story — of rescue, redemption and restoration — now lies at the heart of your personal story. God loves you so much that you are his precious, beloved child. He brought you out of darkness into his marvellous light and said, ‘You are mine.’

What’s your salvation story? Sometimes it’s in the telling of a story that our hearts are warmed. Why not remind yourself of the story of God’s love for you? And why not share that story with others? It will warm their hearts too.

Today is Sunday, and Psalm 92 is a song for the Sabbath. It’s a Psalm that encourages us to remember God’s love this morning and to sing a song of thanks and praise. As the Psalmist reminds us, this is a good thing to do and is pleasing to the Lord. Our voices filled with joy and gladness at the wonder of his love are music to his ears.

Prayer:

‘But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,

Slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.

Turn to me and have mercy on me.’

Thank you for the love and mercy you have shown us in the life, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Thank you for the living hope of eternal life with you. Amen.

Psalms 92:1-15

Psalm 92

A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.

1It is good to praise the Lord

and make music to your name, O Most High,

2proclaiming your love in the morning

and your faithfulness at night,

3to the music of the ten-stringed lyre

and the melody of the harp.

4For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;

I sing for joy at what your hands have done.

5How great are your works, Lord,

how profound your thoughts!

6Senseless people do not know,

fools do not understand,

7that though the wicked spring up like grass

and all evildoers flourish,

they will be destroyed forever.

8But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

9For surely your enemies, Lord,

surely your enemies will perish;

all evildoers will be scattered.

10You have exalted my horn like that of a wild ox;

fine oils have been poured on me.

11My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;

my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.

12The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,

they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;

13planted in the house of the Lord,

they will flourish in the courts of our God.

14They will still bear fruit in old age,

they will stay fresh and green,

15proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;

he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”
