but you, O LORD, are on high forever.
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
But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore. This is the middle verse of the Psalm, and the great fact which this Sabbath song is meant to illustrate. God is at once the highest and most enduring of all beings. Others rise to fall, but he is the Most High to eternity. Glory be to his name! How great a God we worship!
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?
