Psalms 92:9 Meaning and 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,

for, lo, thine enemies shall perish;
the Targum adds, in the world to come: "all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered"; one from another, and not be able to unite and combine together against the saints, as they have done; or they shall be separated from them at the last day, being placed at Christ's left hand; and shall not stand in judgment, nor in the congregation of the righteous; and so the Targum,

``and all the workers of iniquity shall be separated from the congregation of the righteous;''

Psalms 92:9 In-Context

7 When the sinners come up like the grass, and all the workers of evil do well for themselves, it is so that their end may be eternal destruction.

8 But you, O Lord, are on high for ever.

9 For see! your haters, O Lord, will be put to death; all the workers of evil will be put to flight;

10 But my horn is lifted up like the horn of the ox: the best oil is flowing on my head.

11 My eyes have seen trouble come on my haters; my ears have news of the fate of the evil-doers who have come up against me.
