Context of Psalms 92:9
7That when the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did iniquity flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore. 8But You, O Lord, are on high forever. For, behold, Your enemies, O Lord, For, behold, Your enemies will perish; All who do iniquity will be scattered. 10But You have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. 11And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me.
