Psaume 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;''

Psaume 92:9 In-Context

7 L'homme dépourvu de sens n'y connaît rien, et l'insensé ne comprend pas ceci:
8 Que les méchants croissent comme l'herbe et que tous les ouvriers d'iniquité fleurissent, pour être détruits à jamais.
9 Mais toi, Éternel, tu es élevé à toujours.
10 Car voici, tes ennemis, ô Éternel, car voici, tes ennemis périront; tous ceux qui pratiquent l'iniquité seront dispersés.
11 Mais tu me fais lever la tête comme le buffle; je suis oint avec une huile fraîche.
