This Psalm is the rejoicing of Messiah, in the rest of righteousness, in the Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth. The enemies, the Most High's enemies, the springing up of the wicked is only to destruction, and then the rest, the rest of Messiah and His people. Their then state will show the righteousness of the Lord-their previous state was their own fault-and this was prerogative mercy; compare Isa. 48:1818O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: (Isaiah 48:18) and Matt. 23:3737O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (Matthew 23:37). It owns also Jehovah in the place of lordship and His faithfulness.
This Psalm takes up the name of God, spoken of in Psa. 91, as united. It involves the blessing of all the earth, and even heaven (Possessor of heaven and earth) with the special election of Israel as a people-exactly the character and power of the millennium. Psa. 90; 91; 92 Then follow in full succession- Psalm 90, "Jehovah, our dwelling-place," the thing actually in question on the earth. Then, Psa. 91, the Most High, the Almighty, the Source of all the blessings and promises in power and universality of supreme possession and dominion, introduced and recognized by the righteous Remnant, even by Messiah, and so the rest in the Lord, even Jehovah. This connects the blessing and promise and universality with the specialty—both centered in Messiah. This makes the Psalms very important. Psa. 92 seems the first song of Messiah on both these Names—Jehovah, Elion, the true joy of the Sabbath and rest of God, when, in the praise of Messiah, these two Names are united. "Most High" is rather the name of Melchisedek than of Abraham, which makes it the more marked—also recognized in Nebuchadnezzar.
In Psa. 90 then we have the prayer of Israel to Jehovah, according to the faith of ancient promises. Psa. 91, the names of Abraham's God identified with the secret of Israel's God, by the intervention of Messiah, known and recognized by the Jewish Remnant by the Spirit. In Psa. 92, the rest celebrated by Messiah in behalf of Israel, which is the consequence of all this—Jehovah and Most High are one. Now He celebrates, in joy and triumph, the works and thoughts of the Lord. Before, they had been as brutish and ignorant, now they can confidently sing, "A brutish man doth not know, neither doth a fool consider this." The righteous are now to “flourish like the palm tree," to show that the Lord is upright.
Whatever men may judge of the origin of the titles, it is well entitled “A Psalm or song for the Sabbath day”—the great Sabbath that remains—the witness of God's thoughts in result.
