10 Surely your enemies, O Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish,
    and all evildoers will be scattered.
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.

  1. 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).

10 You have exalted my horn[a](A) like that of a wild ox;(B)
    fine oils(C) have been poured on me.
11 My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.(D)

12 The righteous will flourish(E) like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;(F)
