5 O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, or your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
O Lord my God, great are the wonders which you have done in your thought for us; it is not possible to put them out in order before you; when I would give an account of them, their number is greater than I may say.
How dear are your thoughts to me, O God! how great is the number of them!
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; his power may never be searched out. One generation after another will give praise to your great acts, and make clear the operation of your strength.
And they give the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and full of wonder are your works, O Lord God, Ruler of all; true and full of righteousness are your ways, eternal King.
Far off is true existence, and very deep; who may have knowledge of it?
Your righteousness is like the mountains of God; your judging is like the great deep; O Lord, you give life to man and beast.
Say to God, How greatly to be feared are your works! because of your great power your haters are forced to put themselves under your feet.
This comes from the Lord of armies, purposing wonders, and wise in all his acts.
Or make discovery of our secret purpose? The design is framed with care; and the inner thought of a man, and his heart, is deep.

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.
