To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him. To show that the Lord is upright: (he is) my rock, and (there is) no unrighteousness in him - akin to Deuteronomy 32:4.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 92:15
This glorious work of God in compensating the short prosperity of the wicked with everlasting punishments, and of exchanging the momentary afflictions of the just with eternal glory and happiness, doth clearly demonstrate that God is just and blameless in all the dispensations of his providence in the world.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 92:15
Psalms 92:15 To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in him.Ver. 15. To show that, &c.] This is one of their principal fruits, to give God a testimonial, such as good old Moses doth, Deuteronomy 32:4.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 92:15
Verse 15. To show that the Lord is upright] Such persons show how faithful God is to his promises, how true to his word, how kind to them who trust in him. He is the Rock, the Fountain, whence all good comes. There is no unrighteousness in him.] He does nothing evil, nothing unwise, nothing unkind. He is both just and merciful. ANALYSIS OF THE NINETY-SECOND PSALM I. A general proposition, Psalms 92:1: "It is good to give thanks to the Lord," c. which is explained Psalms 92:2-3, and applied Psalms 92:4. II. A particular narration of such works, in which the goodness and faithfulness of God do especially consist, viz., the creation and government of the world, Psalms 92:4-5. And of the last he gives two instances: - 1.
One in wicked men; of their stupidity, Psalms 92:6. Then of their sudden extirpation, Psalms 92:7-9. 2. Another in the godly, whose prosperity is great, Psalms 92:10-14, and security certain, Psalms 92:15. I. He begins with a maxim: 1. "It is good," i.e., just, profitable, pleasant, and commendable, "to give thanks to the Lord." 2. "And to sing praises (with heart and tongue) to thy glorious name, O thou Most High." And both parts he explains. 1. That we give thanks at all times, morning and evening, in prosperity and in adversity; and in our praises especially to remember his loving-kindness and faithfulness. These must be the matter of our thanksgiving: "It is good to show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night," Psalms 92:2; and by all manner of means, Psalms 92:3. And thus the maxim being proposed and explained, he applies it to himself, and shows his own practice, and the reason of it: "For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work; I will triumph in the works of thy hands," Psalms 92:4. 1.
"Thou hast made me glad." He was first delighted and affected with God's work. 2. And then he exults and triumphs in it. The heart must be first truly affected with the work of God before a man shall take any true content or delight in it. II. He had made mention of the works of God; and now he farther opens what they are: First, The creation of the universe; Secondly, His especial providence in ordering the things of this world, particularly about man. 1. First, he begins with the work of creation, upon which he enters, not with less than an admiration: "O Lord, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep." As if he said, I cannot be satisfied in the contemplation of them. There is such a depth in them, that I cannot attain to it, nor comprehend it. 2. And he ends it, not without an indignation, that the wise men of the world, who yet in his judgment, for their disregard of it, are but fools, should not consider it. In the creature they look after nothing but profit and pleasure, in which regard they are but fools.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 92:15
15. To shew &c.] To witness by their prosperity to the faithfulness and justice of Jehovah. The verse is based on Deuteronomy 32:4.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 92:15
To shew that the Lord is upright - That is, This will be a proof that God is faithful to his promises; that he is the true friend of his people.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 92:15
15. To show that the Lord is upright—To vindicate the truth of his promises, and the rectitude of his ways with those who fear him. He is my rock—A precious confession, coming from the depths of a grateful and triumphant soul.
