5How great are thy works, O Jehovah! Thy thoughts are very deep.
6A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:
7When the wicked spring as the grass, And when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; It is that they shall be destroyed for ever.
8But thou, O Jehovah, art on high for evermore.
9For, lo, thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, thine enemies shall perish; All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10But my horn hast thou exalted like [the horn of] the wild-ox: I am anointed with fresh oil.
11Mine eye also hath seen [my desire] on mine enemies, Mine ears have heard [my desire] of the evil-doers that rise up against me.

“92:8-10 The glory of the Lord provides the reason for the poet’s renewed strength and glory, and for the imminent defeat of the enemy. 92:8 The transcendent Lord stays above the world of human experience. From this exalted place, he rules and judges (7:7), celebrates his victories (68:18; see Ps 47), comes to rescue the needy (102:19), brings an end to the wicked (92:7-8), and receives praise (148:1).”
