Psalm 92:9-11
New Catholic Bible
9 whereas you, O Lord, are exalted forever.[a]
10 Surely your enemies, O Lord,

and all evildoers will be scattered.
11 [b]You have given me the strength of a wild bull
and anointed me with fresh oil.
Footnotes
- Psalm 92:9 Exalted forever: since God reigns forever, there is no hope of escape for the senseless.
- 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).
