Context of Psalms 92:5
3With an instrument of ten strings and with the harp, With a solemn sound on the lyre. 4For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your works; At the works of Your hands I joyfully sing. How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep [beyond man’s understanding]. 6A senseless man [in his crude and uncultivated state] knows nothing, Nor does a [self-righteous] fool understand this: 7That though the wicked sprout up like grass And all evildoers flourish, They will be destroyed forever.
