Psalm 92:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 [a]You have given me the strength of a wild bull
and anointed me with fresh oil.
12 My eyes have witnessed the downfall of my enemies;
my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.
13 [b]The righteous will flourish like the palm tree;
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.
Footnotes
- Psalm 92:11 The psalmist has experienced victory over his enemies thanks to the Lord’s doing. He is overjoyed with God’s favors (see vv. 5-6). Strength: literally, “horn” (see Ps 75:11; Deut 33:17; Lk 1:69). The Lord has enabled him to gain the victory (see Ps 89:23-26) and anointed him with fresh oil, i.e., “the oil of gladness” (Ps 45:8; see also Ps 23:5).
- Psalm 92:13 In contrast to the lot of the wicked, the righteous are exalted and renewed in their strength and happiness.
