Psalms 92:9

"For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered."

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes the certainty of God's victory over his enemies and the ultimate downfall of evildoers. It reflects a divine promise that those who oppose God will face destruction, while his faithful ones will be exalted.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish -The repetition of the word “lo” here - “behold!” - is emphatic. The attention of the psalmist was fixed on this as an event which would be sure to occur. It was certain that God would be exalted; it followed from this, that all his enemies would be subdued in order that he might be thus exalted. All the workers of iniquity shall be scattered -More literally, “shall scatter or disperse themselves;” implying eagerness and activity, as if they were in haste to flee away. The allusion is to an army that is discomfited, disorganized, “demoralized,” and scattered; or to chaff that is dispersed by the wind.
