Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 92:9-10

Psalms 92:9-10. For lo, thine enemies, &c., shall perish He represents their destruction as certain, and as present, which the repetition of the words implies. But my horn shalt thou exalt, &c. But, as for me and other righteous persons, (of whom he says the same thing, Psalms 92:12,) we shall be advanced to true and everlasting honour and felicity: I shall be anointed with fresh oil Oil, sweet and uncorrupted; that is, I shall have great cause of rejoicing, and testifying my... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 92:11

Psalms 92:11. Mine eye also shall see my desire, &c. The words, my desire, are twice inserted in this verse by our translators, and it seems improperly, as there is nothing for them in the original, which is literally, Mine eye also shall look upon mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear of the wicked that rise up against me; nor are they found in the Septuagint, or in several other versions ancient and modern. There is indeed an ellipsis, but, as Dr. Horne observes, would it not be... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 92:12

Psalms 92:12. The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree Which is constantly green and flourishing, spreads its branches very wide, and grows to a vast size, affording a most refreshing shade to travellers. It also produces dates, a very sweet, luscious, and grateful kind of fruit; is a most beautiful tree, and every way an invaluable treasure to the inhabitants of those hot countries, and therefore a fit emblem of the flourishing state of a righteous man. He shall grow like a cedar... read more

Donald C. Fleming

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 92:1-15

Psalms 92-93 God’s rule in an evil worldAccording to the title, Psalms 92:0 was for use on the Sabbath. God is pleased when people cease their ordinary work for a day in order to engage in worshipping him and proclaiming his love (92:1-4). As they meditate upon the nature of God, their thinking will be changed. They will see from God’s point of view and will understand things that are misunderstood by the ordinary person. They will see, for instance, that they need not puzzle over why the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 92:10

Psalms 92:10. But my horn shalt thou exalt, &c.— But thou exaltest my horn, like the horn of the oryx; my old age is fresh invigorated with oil. I translate בלתי ballothi; with the LXX, by old age, or decay; as the very same letters are used by Sarah in this sense, and the word is more familiar, and the image the same with that in Psalms 92:14. Mudge. read more
