提要
詩篇第九二篇是用在聖殿安息日儀式中，也許是指特別的獻祭儀式（民28：9）。這一詩篇是慶祝耶和華的聖工及證明義人必定興旺。我們明白個人與團體感謝上帝的重要性，因為祂有慈愛與信實，也有權柄統治受造物，及日後施行公義的審判。
就像約伯（伯21：7）與亞薩（詩73：2~3）一樣，詩人不會因惡人的興旺而感到苦惱。他了解那些人都是愚蠢的人，既不敬畏上帝，也不思想祂的道；雖然惡人很多，他們都會像草一樣，很快就會枯謝了。在比較上，智慧的人都會思想上帝的偉大（92：5；比較賽55：8~9；羅11：33）。他承認上帝是「至高、直到永遠」（92：8），以及祂的仇敵都要滅亡。祂就像兩棵樹：一棵樹是茂盛的棕櫚，代表榮譽、力量、連續及信實，甚至到老時也是如此；另一棵樹是利巴嫩的香柏樹（賽2：13；詩104：16），總是青翠的、高大的、品質優良的（它的樹幹可以用來建造聖殿）、根深蒂固的，所以它能屹立不動，抗拒任何猛烈的風暴。這些福氣都是來自上帝的，因為祂要高舉及鼓勵祂的僕人，並且要他們在祂的面前興旺（92：10、13；27：4~6），所以他們才能有效地為祂做見證，也要傳揚祂的公義和力量（92：15；比較申32：4）。
詩篇第九三篇描述上帝就是一位超越的、大能的及權威的統治者，及管理宇宙萬物的永恆君王。以後的很多詩篇都宣稱，上帝統治世界猶如君王（95：3；96：10；97：1；98：6、9；99：1）。就像祂是從亙古到永遠（90：2），祂的寶座從太初立定（93：2）。不像地上的君王，龍袍祇代表華美與力量而已，耶和華自己就以莊嚴和力量為衣。祂的國度是沒有界限的，因為祂不祇是統治以色列（申33：5；出15：18），而且也統治全世界（賽24：21~23；啟19：6）；世界是上帝堅立的，所以任何反對勢力都不能動搖它（93：1；比較來12：18）。
在這一詩篇中，我們讀到那些統治而又經常壓迫人民的邪惡國家都以「大水」（直譯為「江河」）為代表，像強大帝國或是世界超級強權則以尼羅河（埃及）及幼發拉底河與底格里斯河（巴比倫與敘利亞；耶46：6~8）為代表。雖然他們會像急流一樣地興起反抗上帝，並且想摧毀上帝所有的計劃，可是他們的一切努力都枉然的（94：11），因為上帝是不會動搖的（29：10）。這些帝國本身就會被淘汰掉，但是上帝的家（國度）要繼續存在，直到永遠，因為它是基於祂的屬性，例如像祂的聖潔（93：5；47：1~3；比較賽66：1；徒7：48~50）。祂的見證就是一個龐大的財寶，屹立不動，並且存到永遠，因為它們是真理（比較19：7~9）。
詩篇第九四篇可以使義人在遭遇苦難，及受壓迫者逼迫時，得到鼓勵和安慰。毫無疑問地，上帝的百姓都知道，上帝是以無上的權威統治世人，然而當他們目睹惡人嘲笑義人時，他們就渴望上帝以公義懲罰他們。上帝的百姓不會因痛苦而作此要求，但是他們是祈求上帝施行報復（比較耶51：56），所以惡人就會消逝，以及那些不敬畏上帝，又行惡事的人都會因其惡行受到懲罰（羅6：23）。義人求上帝用祂的大能「發光」，求上帝啟示祂自己（50：2；80：1），因為不論上帝如何光照，都照不到惡事。
行惡的人都是驕傲的、兇暴的及粗野的人；他們也許是背叛上帝的猶太人，也許是外國人。他們祇誇讚他們自己的惡行，同時，他們都是奸詐的人，所以他們都以折磨和殺害無助的孤兒、寡婦及外地人為樂；但是依據上帝的律法，那些無助的人都有權利在以色列生活（出22：21~24）。即使有人犯罪得罪了上帝，及冒犯了他們的同胞，他們仍然可以繼續犯罪，因為他們想，「耶和華看不到」他們的所作所為（94：7；10：11；結8：12；賽29：15；路8：17；12：2~3）。詩人稱那些人為最愚蠢的人（94：8；92：6）。他們怎麼會相信，創造主會看不到他們的惡行，或是聽不到他們的惡言（94：9）？上帝甚至可以看透人的心思意念，因為祂是無所不能的，而且比祂的受造物還要大（139：1~4；約2：24~25）。
詩人轉而見證上帝是如何看顧他的，例如當他遭遇苦難時，上帝賜給他內心的寧靜與安定。他也堅信上帝的大能和公義，以及上帝在最後審判那些流義人血的惡人時，就會給他們應得的報應。義人心裡也有安慰，因為他們知道，惡人一定得到應有的懲罰。

Overview
Psalm 92 was used in the Temple liturgy on the Sabbath, likely during the special offerings (Numbers 28:9). This psalm celebrates the righteous works of the Lord and testifies to the prosperity of the righteous. We learn the importance of giving thanks to the Lord individually and corporately for His loving-kindness and faithfulness as well as His sovereignty over creation and righteous judgments.
The psalmist is not troubled by the prosperity of the wicked as were Job (Job 21:7) and Asaph (Ps. 73:2-3). He understands those to be fools who do not fear God nor consider His way, and although the wicked are numerous, they will soon be destroyed like the temporal and easily withered grass. In contrast, the wise man does consider the profoundness of God (92:5; cf. Isaiah 55:8-9; Romansll:33). He recognizes that God is "on high forevermore" (92:8) and His enemies will perish. He is likened to two trees: a flourishing palm that represents honour, strength, continuity, and fruitfulness even in its old age; and a cedar of Lebanon (Is. 2:13; Ps. 104:16) which is always green, tall, of top quality (its wood was used for the temple), and firmly rooted, so that it can withstand all storms. These blessings are from God who exalts and strengthens His servants who flourish in His presence (92:10,13; 27:4-6) so that they might be able to be effective witnesses for Him by declaring God's righteousness and strength (92:15; cf. Deut. 32:4).
Psalm 93 describes God as the transcendent, mighty, Sovereign Ruler and Eternal King over all creation. Many of the psalms which follow also proclaim that God reigns as King (95:3; 96:10; 97:1; 98:6, 9; 99:1). Just as He is from everlasting to everlasting (90:2), so His throne is established for eternity (93:2). Unlike an earthy king, whose garments merely represent majesty and strength, the Lord Himself is clothed with majesty and strength. His kingdom has no boundaries, for He is not only sovereign over Israel (Deut. 33:5; Ex. 15:18) but the whole world (Isaiah 24:21-23; Rev. 19:6), and since it is established by Him, it cannot be shaken by any opposing force (93:1; cf. Heb. 12:28).
The ungodly nations which ruled and often oppressed the earth are represented in this psalm by the "floods" (literal translation is "rivers"), such as the great empires or world super powers which are often symbolized by the Nile River (Egypt) and the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers (Babylon and Assyria; Jer. 46:6-8). Though they should rise up like a torrent against God and try to destroy His plans, all their attempts are futile (94:11), for God cannot be shaken (29:10). These empires will themselves be washed away, but God's House (Kingdom) will remain forever, since it is based upon His attributes, such as His holiness (93:5; 47:1-3; cf. Isaiah 66:1; Acts 7:48-50). His testimonies are a great treasure which will also remain fixed and sure forever because they are truth (cf. 19:7-9).
Psalm 94 gives a message of comfort and consolation to the righteous in the midst of affliction and persecution by oppressors. God's people know, without any doubts, that God rules with all authority over the earth, and yet when they see evil men mocking the righteous, they are anxious for God to give them their just deserts. The people of God do not ask for this out of bitterness or enmity, but it is a cry for vengeance or retribution (cf. Jer. 51:56), so that evil will be gone and the evildoers, who do not fear God, will be punished with what they deserve (Rom. 6:23). The righteous call for God to "shine forth", asking that He reveal Himself (50:2; 80:1) with His divine authority, for wherever the brightness of God's glory shines, there can be no evil.
The evildoers are proud, arrogant, insolent people, who may have been apostate Jews or Gentile foreigners. They praise themselves for their evil, and they are so treacherous that they take pleasure in afflicting and even murdering the orphans, widows, and strangers who were helpless; but under the Law of God, they had rights in Israel (Ex. 22:21-24). Even though the crimes committed were against the Law of God and the sacredness of their fellow man, they still continued to sin, since they imagined that "the Lord does not see" (94:7; 10:11; Ezek. 8:12; Isa. 29:15; Luke 8:17; 12:2-3). The psalmist calls them the most foolish of people (94:8; 92:6). How could they believe that the Creator could not see their wrongdoing or hear them (94:9)? God can even see into the heart and minds of man, since He has all authority and is greater than His creatures (139:1-4; John 2:24-25).
The psalmist turns to testify about the providential and personal care God gives him which provides peace of mind and inner rest in the midst of turmoil. He also affirms his belief in the power and righteousness of God and the final retribution of evil as God judges the innocent blood they spilt. The righteous can take comfort in knowing that evil will not go unpunished.
