Psalms 92:11

9 For behold, Your enemies, O Lord,
For behold, Your enemies shall perish;
All the workers of iniquity shall ^abe scattered.

10 But ^amy horn You have exalted like a wild ox;
I have been ^banointed with fresh oil.

11 ^aMy eye also has seen my desire on my enemies;
My ears hear my desire on the wicked
Who rise up against me.

12 ^aThe righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,
He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be¹ fresh and flourishing,

15 To declare that the Lord is upright;
^aHe is my rock, and ^bthere is no unrighteousness in Him.

What Does Psalms 92:11 Mean?

Psalm 92:11

The psalmist encourages us to thank God for His justice upon His and our enemies. Is it right that we should be thankful for God's judgment and punishment upon them? We certainly should not gloat over their fate (Proverbs 24:17-18). However, we would be wise to remember the just punishments of Nadab and Abihu, of Eli's sons, of Uzzah, and of Ananias and Sapphira. We must beware of thinking of God as harsh or rash in His judgments. God's enemies are our enemies too, and His punishment of them is for our good (and ultimately theirs).
