Psalm 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;''

see ( Psalms 1:5 ) .

Psalm 92:9 In-Context

7 Che gli empi germogliano come l’erba, E che tutti gli operatori d’iniquità fioriscono, Per perire in eterno.

8 Ma tu, o Signore, Sei l’Eccelso in eterno.

9 Perciocchè, ecco, i tuoi nemici, o Signore; Perciocchè, ecco, i tuoi nemici periranno; E tutti gli operatori d’iniquità saranno dissipati.

10 Ma tu alzerai il mio corno, come quello di un liocorno; Io sarò unto d’olio verdeggiante.

11 E l’occhio mio riguarderà i miei nemici; E le mie orecchie udiranno ciò che io desidero de’ maligni Che si levano contro a me.
