THE WICKED TO BE DESTROYED"When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish;It is that they shall be destroyed forever.But thou, O Jehovah, art on high forevermore.For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah,For, lo, thine enemies shall perish;All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.""When the wicked spring as the grass" (Psalms 92:7).

Psalms 92:6-7. A brutish man, &c.— The foolish man doth not observe, nor the thoughtless man take notice of this: Psalms 92:7. That when the wicked spring up like the grass, and all the practisers of idolatry flourish, it is that they may be destroyed for ever. See Green and Mudge. It is clear to a demonstration from these verses, that this psalm could not have been composed by Adam. read more

These revelations helped him understand what God was doing. He understood, as those who do not benefit from God’s revelation cannot, that the prosperity of the wicked is only temporary. read more
This is a Ps. of praise, called forth by some special manifestation of God’s loving-kindness. This general theme is set forth in Psalms 92:1-4. Psalms 92:5-11 contain reflections on the meaning of God’s works, a meaning which is hidden from the foolish (Psalms 92:6). The wicked seem to flourish only that they may be destroyed (Psalms 92:7). God is supreme, and His enemies must perish (Psalms 92:8-9). This has been proved in the experience of the Psalmist, or of the nation for which he speaks... read more
(6) A brutish man.—The Hebrew is apparently from a root meaning “to eat,” and so refers to the man of mere animal nature, who lives for his appetites.Fool.—From root meaning “fat,” hence “gross,” “stupid.”In the one case the moral sense has not come into play at all, in the other it is overgrown by sensuality, so that spiritual discernment, insight into the glories of the Divine mind, is impossible. read more
