Contextual Overview

⁷ Stupid people can't know, fools don't understand, ⁸ that when the wicked sprout like grass, and all who do evil prosper, it is so that they can be eternally destroyed, ⁹ while you, Adonai , are exalted forever. ¹⁰ For your enemies, Adonai , your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. ¹¹ But you have given me the strength of a wild bull; you anoint me with fresh olive oil. ¹² My eyes have gazed with pleasure on my enemies' ruin, my ears have delighted in the fall of my foes. ¹³ The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar in the L'vanon. ¹⁴ Planted in the house of Adonai , they will flourish in the courtyards of our God. ¹⁵ Even in old age they will be vigorous, still full of sap, still bearing fruit, proclaiming that Adonai is upright, my Rock, in whom there is no wrong.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore,.... God is "the most High"; that is one of his names; he is above all, is higher than the highest; and he dwells on high, and looks down upon the inhabitants of the earth, and sees what is doing among them; and to him they will be accountable another day for what they do; and when wicked, men perish, being destroyed, he will continue for ever in all his greatness, glory, and majesty; for there seems to be an antithesis in this verse to the former, or between wicked men and the Lord; and besides he endures for ever to inflict punishment upon them; and therefore it is that they shall be destroyed for ever.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But thou, Lord, art most high for evermore - In the treatment of the righteous and the wicked, thou wilt maintain thine own exalted place as a sovereign. Whatever may occur to people, God will maintain this exalted position as supreme over all.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 92:8. High for evermore. — They are brought down and destroyed; but the Lord is exalted eternally, both for his judgments and his mercies.
