Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 92:7-15

The psalmist had said (Ps. 92:4) that from the works of God he would take occasion to triumph; and here he does so. I. He triumphs over God's enemies (Ps. 92:7, 9, 11), triumphs in the foresight of their destruction, not as it would be the misery of his fellow-creatures, but as it would redound to the honour of God's justice and holiness. He is confident of the ruin of sinners, 1. Though they are flourishing (Ps. 92:7): When the wicked spring as the grass in spring (so numerous, so thickly... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:9

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord ,.... The particle "lo", or "behold", is not used for the sake of God, but for the sake of men; to excite their attention, and to observe unto them that those who are everlastingly destroyed are the enemies of the Lord; who are enemies in their minds by wicked works, yea, enmity itself against God; and therefore their perdition is just as well as certain; sooner or later these shall be brought forth and slain before him; and for the certainty of it is repeated,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 92:9

Verse 9 9For, lo! thine enemies, O Jehovah! From what was already said in the verse preceding, the Psalmist concludes it to be impossible that God should not overthrow his enemies. This, as I have already observed, clearly shows that it was his design to establish our faith under the strong temptations to which it is subjected, and, more especially, to remove that offense out of the way, which has disturbed the minds of many, and led them astray; — we refer to the prosperity of the wicked, and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Metrically, the psalm seems to divide into three portions, the first and second of four verses each ( Psalms 92:1-4 , Psalms 92:5-8 ), the third of seven verses ( Psalms 92:9-15 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

The eye salve of praise. In this psalm we have— I. THE SPIRIT OF GLADSOME PRAISE . ( Psalms 92:1-4 .) The writer had evidently tried what praise could do, and the result of his testing it was this joyful outburst of praise concerning praise. He tells of its essence—giving thanks; of its expression—singing; its object—the Lord; its seasons—morning and night; its aids—music of all kinds; its inspiration—the gladness that came to him through the works of the Lord. II. A ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 92:9

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish . Whatever else is uncertain, this at least is sure, that ultimately God's enemies will perish. The repetition adds the greatest force to the passage. All the workers of iniquity (comp. Psalms 92:7 ) shall be scattered. All of them— every one (comp. Matthew 7:23 , "Depart from me, ye that work iniquity"). read more

Albert Barnes

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 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... read more

Joseph Benson

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 92:9-10

Psalms 92:9-10. For lo, thine enemies, &c., shall perish He represents their destruction as certain, and as present, which the repetition of the words implies. But my horn shalt thou exalt, &c. But, as for me and other righteous persons, (of whom he says the same thing, Psalms 92:12,) we shall be advanced to true and everlasting honour and felicity: I shall be anointed with fresh oil Oil, sweet and uncorrupted; that is, I shall have great cause of rejoicing, and testifying my... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92-93 God’s rule in an evil worldAccording to the title, Psalms 92:0 was for use on the Sabbath. God is pleased when people cease their ordinary work for a day in order to engage in worshipping him and proclaiming his love (92:1-4). As they meditate upon the nature of God, their thinking will be changed. They will see from God’s point of view and will understand things that are misunderstood by the ordinary person. They will see, for instance, that they need not puzzle over why the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 92:8-9

Psalms 92:8-9. But thou, Lord, &c.— But thou, O Lord, dwellest on high for evermore; Psalms 92:9. While, behold, thine enemies perish, and all the practisers of idolatry are scattered abroad. Green and Mudge. The phrase of God's dwelling or sitting on high, is equivalent to God's sitting in heaven, and there over-ruling all the designs of men to his own glory, and the good of his servants. read more
