8 but thou, O LORD, art on high for ever.

Psalms 92:8 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 92:8

But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore
God is "the most High"; that is one of his names; he is above all, is higher than the highest; and he dwells on high, and looks down upon the inhabitants of the earth, and sees what is doing among them; and to him they will be accountable another day for what they do; and when wicked, men perish, being destroyed, he will continue for ever in all his greatness, glory, and majesty; for there seems to be an antithesis in this verse to the former, or between wicked men and the Lord; and besides he endures for ever to inflict punishment upon them; and therefore it is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

Psalms 92:8 In-Context

6 The dull man cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:

7 that, though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction for ever,

8 but thou, O LORD, art on high for ever.

9 For, lo, thy enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thy enemies shall perish; all evildoers shall be scattered.

10 But thou hast exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; thou hast poured over me fresh oil.
