Delight in the Sabbath

Psalm 92 is a psalm or song for the Sabbath. The praise of God is the theme. Aptly stated in verse 1, “It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High.”

The psalmist experienced the abiding presence and unfailing care of God. He gave thanks unto God, sang praises with a solemn sound (v1-3). He set the Sabbath day as a day of joyful rest and worship.

(1) Thou Art My Rock

Psalm 71:3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou art my rock and my fortress.

In psalm 71, God is described as our Rock, a safe refuge, strong, secure and dependable. In Him, we may continually rely (v3a) and find hope (v14). Even amidst the most trying persecutions in life, the psalmist teaches us to be strengthened in the LORD and to receive comfort to live in His strength (v16).
