7 though the wicked spring up as the grass,
and all the evildoers flourish,
they will be destroyed forever. 8 But you, Yahweh, are on high forevermore. 9 For, behold, your enemies, Yahweh,
for, behold, your enemies shall perish.
All the evildoers will be scattered. 10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox.
I am anointed with fresh oil. 11 My eye has also seen my enemies.
My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me. 12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree.
He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 13 They are planted in Yahweh’s house.
They will flourish in our God’s courts. 14 They will still bring forth fruit in old age.
They will be full of sap and green, 15 to show that Yahweh is upright.
He is my rock,
and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 92:7-15
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.
