Psalms 92

Psalm 92 calls it good to praise YHWH Most High with music, rejoicing in His great works and profound thoughts, while fools fail to grasp that the wicked, though flourishing like grass, will be destroyed forever, but YHWH endures exalted.[1][2][3] The psalmist celebrates YHWH exalting his strength like a wild ox with fresh oil, witnessing enemies' downfall, and declares the righteous flourish like palm trees and cedars in YHWH's house, bearing fruit in old age to proclaim YHWH upright, their rock without unrighteousness.[1][2][3]
