Psalms 92:1-15

How Great Are Your Works 92 A Psalm. A Song for the Sabbath. 1 f It is good to give thanks to the Lord , to sing praises to your name, g O Most High; 2 to declare your h steadfast love in i the morning, and your h faithfulness by i night, 3 to the music of j the lute and j the harp, to the melody of j the lyre. 4 For you, O Lord , have made me glad by your k work; at l the works of your hands I sing for joy. 5 How m great are your works, O Lord ! Your n thoughts are very o deep! 6 The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this: 7 that though p the wicked sprout like grass and all q evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever; 8 but you, O Lord , are r on high forever. 9 For behold, your enemies, O Lord , for behold, your enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be s scattered. 10 But you have exalted my t horn like that of u the wild ox; you have v poured over me 1 fresh oil. 11 My w eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants. 12 x The righteous flourish like the palm tree and grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 They are planted in the house of the Lord ; they flourish in y the courts of our God. 14 They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green, 15 z to declare that the Lord is upright; he is my a rock, and there is b no unrighteousness in him.

Sermon outline

It is good to give thanks to the LORD Introduction 'Worship' - part of mission and maturity What are we doing when we gather for worship? Isn't all of life worship? So how do the two relate v1-4 Praise God for who he is and what he has done v1 give thanks, sing praises v1 your Name v2 declare steadfast love and faithfulness v3 music and melody v4 glad by your work/work of your hands Our guiding principle: Hearing God's voice and then responding to God's voice. Our first responsibility is always to be good soil. [Nutritional deficiency analogy] What the regulative principle means, and how we apply it What about music Movement from hearing, repenting, being restored, rejoicing v5-11 Praise God because he has raised up his people, and will destroy his enemies v5 thoughts very deep v6-9 stupid/fool...destruction; enemies scattered v10 exalted my horn v11 downfall of enemies v12-15 Praise God because he nourishes his people v12 flourish x2 v13-14 bear fruit. Connections to Psalm 1 v15 declare (again) Why worship as families? cf Ephesians 6; Deuteronomy 29.10-11; 31.11-13; Ezra 10.1 Wrap up Glory of God: He is great and worthy of praise! FCF: We are self-centred rather than God-centred. Even in our repentance we can be wallowing in our selves. Jesus' person: shows the greatness of God; his steadfast love and faithfulness Jesus' work: He does the steadfast love and faithfulness. He secures it for us in his person. In Jesus: we know the joy of being true worshipers. In regular, gathered, formal senses, and in informal, all of life senses.
