Context of Psalms 92:6
4For You, Lord, have made me joyful by what You have done, I will sing for joy over the works of Your hands. 5How great are Your works, Lord! Your thoughts are very deep. A stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a foolish person understand this: 7When the wicked sprouted up like grass And all who did injustice flourished, It was only that they might be destroyed forevermore. 8But You, Lord, are on high forever.
