Context of Psalms 92:11

9Yes, Lord, look at your enemies! Your enemies will all die! Those people who do evil things will all disappear! 10You have made me as strong as a wild bull. You have poured pure olive oil on me. With my own eyes, I have seen my enemies fall. With my own ears, I have heard them cry out in pain. 12Righteous people will do well, like a palm tree that makes new leaves. They will become strong, like a tall cedar tree in Lebanon. 13They are like trees that someone has planted in the Lord's house. They grow well in the yard of our God's temple.
