7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
7 that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
7 that though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction forever;
7 When the wicked popped up like weeds and all the evil men and women took over, You mowed them down, finished them off once and for all.
7 When the wicked spring up like grass, And when all the workers of iniquity flourish, It is that they may be destroyed forever.
7 Though the wicked sprout like weeds and evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 92:7
Commentary on Psalm 92:7-15
(Read Psalm 92:7-15)
God sometimes grants prosperity to wicked men in displeasure; yet they flourish but for a moment. Let us seek for ourselves the salvation and grace of the gospel, that being daily anointed by the Holy Spirit, we may behold and share the Redeemer's glory. It is from his grace, by his word and Spirit, that believers receive all the virtue that keeps them alive, and makes them fruitful. Other trees, when old, leave off bearing, but in God's trees the strength of grace does not fail with the strength of nature. The last days of the saints are sometimes their best days, and their last work their best work: perseverance is sure evidence of sincerity. And may every sabbath, while it shows forth the Divine faithfulness, find our souls resting more and more upon the Lord our righteousness.
