Psalm 92:1-15

The Lord is Just 

Psalm 92 is said to be a song for the Sabbath. It’s a declaration of God’s justice (v.15) and His faithful love both in the morning and at night (v.2). We need songs like this, songs of Scripture, to bury inside us and remind us what’s true. This way, on an afternoon that doesn’t feel very beautiful, we can sing the song that declares God is just and advocating on our behalf for the rightness of all things. When we meditate on these songs, our hope is restored. And we can find rest again.

There are quite a bit of layers woven into this psalm. At first glance, we’re told it’s a song to accompany our Sabbath rest. But in reading the lines of the verses, we see the heartbeat behind it: a desire for all thing to be made right.

We can find true rest in the knowledge that God is just; there is ‘no unrighteousness in Him’ (v.15). But He also chooses to partner with us in confronting the injustices of the world.

How can live our lives living in the balance that the Lord is both good good Father but also Holy and Just?
