The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:
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
A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. In this and the following verses the effect of the psalm is heightened by contrast; the shadows are thrown in to bring out the lights more prominently. What a stoop from the preceding verse; from the saint to the brute, from the worshipper to the boor, from the psalmist to the fool!
This psalm was appointed to be sung, at least it usually was sung, in the house of the sanctuary on the sabbath day, that day of rest, which was an instituted memorial of the work of creation, of God's rest from that work, and the continuance of it in his providence; for the Father worketh hitherto. Note, 1.
