NGET BIBLE

Psalms 92 in plain modern English. New Ground English Translation.

Time Period

Temple period, used weekly in worship and later assigned to the Sabbath service in the second temple, after 516 BC

Location

The temple in Jerusalem, with its courts and the cedar and palm imagery of a planted sanctuary

Audience

Israelites gathered for the weekly day of rest and worship

Situation

The only psalm headed as a song for the Sabbath day, praising God with music from morning to evening and contrasting the wicked, who spring up like grass and are destroyed, with the righteous, who flourish like a palm tree. It ends with old people still bearing fruit in God's courts.

Key Background

The Sabbath was the seventh day set aside for rest and worship, and Jewish tradition later attached this psalm to it permanently, so it was sung every week in the temple. The stringed instruments named in the opening lines, the ten stringed lyre and the harp, were the standard accompaniment for temple singing rather than poetic decoration. Palms and the cedars of Lebanon were the longest lived and most valuable trees known to Israelites, so comparing a faithful person to them meant durability and worth, not just beauty.
