9 public-domain excerpts on Psalm 92, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Spurgeon 4 Matthew Henry 3 Alexander MacLaren 1 John Wesley 1

“God sometimes grants prosperity to wicked men in displeasure; yet they flourish but for a moment. Let us seek for ourselves the salvation and grace of the gospel, that being daily anointed by the Holy Spirit, we may behold and share the Redeemer's glory. It is from his grace, by his word and Spirit, that believers receive all the virtue that keeps them alive, and makes them fruitful. Other trees, when old, leave off bearing, but in God's trees the strength of grace does not fail with the strength of nature. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Psalm 92:7–30 (Public Domain)
