Psalms 92:9

Compare all

7 When ^athe wicked spring up like grass,
And when all the workers of iniquity flourish,
It is that they may be destroyed forever.

8 ^aBut You, Lord, are on high forevermore.

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.

Psalms 92:9

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish - The repetition of the word "lo" here - "behold!" - is emphatic. The attention of the psalmist was fixed on this as an event which would be sure to occur. It was certain that God would be exalted; it followed from this, that all his enemies would be subdued in order that he might be thus exalted.

All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered - More literally, "shall scatter or disperse themselves;" implying eagerness and activity, as if they were in haste to flee away. The allusion is to an army that is discomfited, disorganized, "demoralized," and scattered; or to chaff that is dispersed by the wind. See Job 21:18; Isaiah 17:13; Isaiah 29:5; Hosea 13:3.
