Psalms 92:9 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish. "For" introduces the facts on which the Psalmist grounds the truth (Psalms 92:8) that the Lord is "most high forevermore." The "lo" points to them as obvious and patent.

All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered - literally, separated х paarad (H6504)] from the Lord's people, as the chaff is separated from the wheat by the wind previously to being burnt. Compare also Job 4:11. The Chaldaic translates, 'shall be scattered in the age to come, and separated from the congregation of the just' (Psalms 1:4-5; Matthew 3:12; Matthew 13:30).
