John Trapp on Psalms 92:1

PSAL. XCII.

A Pſalm or ſong for the Sabbath day] The Sabbath in the Hebrew hath its name from reſting; and is near allied to two other words, [non-Latin text not transcribed] the firſt whereof ſignifieth to ſit ſtill, and ſecond to worſhip and give praiſe. On this day they met for works of Piety (as ſacrificing, reading and expounding the Scriptures, praying, ſinging, as here, &c.) and of mercy, Matth. 12.2-7, 8, 11, 12. And this Pſalm treating of Gods great Works, was purpoſely ſet for a Canon of ſanctifying that day called by the Jews the Queen of dayes; in praiſe whereof, before and after meat, they daily ſay certain verſes.

Verſ. 1. It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord] And the Sabbath-day is a good time to do it in; for then (as Kimchi here noteth) men are at leiſure and liberty to do it moſt ſolemnly; the better day, the better deed.

And to ſi[illegible: 1 letter]g praiſes unto thy name] The Pſalmiſt common ends it, and preſently ſets upon the doing of it. So Pſal. 122.6, 7. he no ſooner bids pray for the Peace of Jeruſalem, but himſelf prayes, Peace be within thy walls, &c.
