5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
5 O LORD, H3068 how great H1431 are thy works! H4639 and thy thoughts H4284 are very H3966 deep. H6009
5 How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
5 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
5 Jehovah, how great are thy works! Thy thoughts are very deep:
5 How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
5 O Lord, how great are your works! and your thoughts are very deep.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith 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.
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts.
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?
Thy righteousness is like the great mountains; thy judgments are a great deep: O LORD, thou preservest man and beast.
Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee.
This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.
They search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.

Commentary on Psalms 92 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 92
Ps 92:1-15. A Psalm-song—(see on Ps 30:1, title). The theme: God should be praised for His righteous judgments on the wicked and His care and defense of His people. Such a topic, at all times proper, is specially so for the reflections of the Sabbath day.
1. sing … name—celebrate Thy perfections.
2. in the morning, … every night—diligently and constantly (Ps 42:8).
loving kindness—literally, "mercy."
faithfulness—in fulfilling promises (Ps 89:14).
3. In such a work all proper aid must be used.
with a … sound—or, on Higgaion (see on Ps 9:16), perhaps an instrument of that name, from its sound resembling the muttered sound of meditation, as expressed also by the word. This is joined with the harp.
4. thy work—that is, of providence (Ps 90:16, 17).
5. great … works—correspond to deep or vast thoughts (Ps 40:5; Ro 11:23).
6. A brutish man knoweth not—that is, God's works, so the Psalmist describes himself (Ps 73:22) when amazed by the prosperity of the wicked, now understood and explained.
8. This he does in part, by contrasting their ruin with God's exaltation and eternity.
most high—as occupying the highest place in heaven (Ps 7:7; 18:16).
9, 10. A further contrast with the wicked, in the lot of the righteous, safety and triumph.
10. horn … exalt—is to increase power (Ps 75:5).
anointed … fresh—or, "new"
oil—(Ps 23:5) a figure for refreshment (compare Lu 7:46). Such use of oil is still common in the East.
11. see … [and] … hear my desire—or, literally, "look on" my enemies and hear of the wicked (compare Ps 27:11; 54:7)—that is, I shall be gratified by their fall.
12-14. The vigorous growth, longevity, utility, fragrance, and beauty of these noble trees, set forth the life, character, and destiny of the pious;
15. and they thus declare God's glory as their strong and righteous ruler.
