Psalms 92:11 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 92:11

Mine eyes also shall see my desire on mine enemies
The Targum supplies thus,

``shall see destruction;''

Aben Ezra, shall see "the vengeance of God", as in ( Psalms 58:10 ) , and Kimchi, as we do, shall "see what I will", or "my desire"; which arose not from a revengeful spirit, or from a spirit of private revenge, but from a regard to the glory of God, and the honour of his name; and in no other view could the destruction of fellow creatures, though his enemies, be grateful to him:

and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against
me;
he should see the ruin of some, and hear of the destruction of others; that which his eyes saw not, his ears should hear; the report would be brought to him; as in the latter day the voice of the angel will be heard, "Babylon is fallen"; and other voices heard in heaven, giving glory to God; an account of which will be acceptable to the saints, because of the justice of God, and the honour of it, as well as because it will make for their future peace and comfort, ( Revelation 18:2 ) ( Revelation 19:1 Revelation 19:2 ) .
