Psalm 92

The major theme is the sovereign rule of God, as stated in verse 8, which is the central verse of the psalm. It proclaims that God is most high (kjv), He is on high (nasb), and He is exalted forever (niv). The covenant name Jehovah (Lord) is used seven times; Elyon (Most High) is found in verse 1 and Elohim in verse 13. The inscription relates the psalm to the Sabbath day worship at the sanctuary. During the week, a lamb was sacrificed each morning and another in the evening, but on the Sabbath day, those sacrifices were doubled (Ex. 29:38-46; Num. 28:1-10). Because our God reigns supremely, and always will, we can be the people of God that He wants us to be. The psalm describes the characteristics of believers who trust a sovereign God.
