Context of Psalms 92:8
6The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this; the fool does not understand this. 7When the wicked sprout up like grass, and all the evildoers glisten, it is so that they may be annihilated. But you, O Lord, reign forever! 9Indeed, look at your enemies, O Lord! Indeed, look at how your enemies perish! All the evildoers are scattered! 10You exalt my horn like that of a wild ox. I am covered with fresh oil.
