to declare that the LORD is upright; he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
This psalm teaches us to praise God because His justice and faithfulness never fail. He protects His people, destroys the wicked, and by setting aside the Sabbath for this exercise, He wisely secures us from fainting under affliction and turns us from iniquity by showing that sinners, however they prosper briefly, will swiftly perish.

Commenting on Psalm 92:1-15
This mercy to the aged proves the faithfulness of their God, and leads them to shew that the Lord is upright, by their cheerful testimony to his ceaseless goodness. We do not serve a Master who will run back from his promise. Whoever else may defraud us, he never will. Every aged Christian is a letter of commendation to the immutable fidelity of Jehovah.
The wicked flourish like spring grass, numerous and green, yet this very prosperity is their doom, the sheep fattened for slaughter. The workers of iniquity, though they combine against God and seem to prosper in power, cannot escape His justice; who ever hardened his heart against God and prospered?
