For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.
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
For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work. It was natural for the psalmist to sing, because he was glad, and to sing unto the Lord, because his gladness was caused by a contemplation of the divine work.
Praising God is good work; it is our duty and our privilege, the rent we pay to our great Lord. The sabbath must be a day not only of rest but of holy work, and the proper work is thanksgiving. We show forth His loving kindness and faithfulness by recounting the objects of His mercy: not angels, but men, and these the worst and vilest.
