  1. Psalm 92:9 Exalted forever: since God reigns forever, there is no hope of escape for the senseless.
  2. 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).

For surely your enemies(A), Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish;
    all evildoers will be scattered.(B)
10 You have exalted my horn[a](C) like that of a wild ox;(D)
    fine oils(E) 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.(F)
