6 A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:
So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was `as' a beast before thee.
For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.
I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:
How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?
Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; `but' Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Commentary on Psalms 92 Matthew Henry Commentary
Psalm 92
It is a groundless opinion of some of the Jewish writers (who are usually free of their conjectures) that this psalm was penned and sung by Adam in innocency, on the first sabbath. It is inconsistent with the psalm itself, which speaks of the workers of iniquity, when as yet sin had not entered. It is probable that it was penned by David, and, being calculated for the sabbath day,
In singing this psalm we must take pleasure in giving to God the glory due to his name, and triumph in his works.
A psalm or song for the sabbath day.
Psa 92:1-6
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,
Psa 92:7-15
The psalmist had said (v. 4) that from the works of God he would take occasion to triumph; and here he does so.
