6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --
And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.
For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.
and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know `them', because spiritually they are discerned;
To the Overseer. -- By David. A fool hath said in his heart, `God is not;' They have done corruptly, They have done abominable actions, There is not a doer of good.
I have said to the boastful, `Be not boastful,' And to the wicked, `Raise not up a horn.'
`Till when, ye simple, do ye love simplicity? And have scorners their scorning desired? And do fools hate knowledge?
For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.
An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.

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.
