Psalm 92:11

My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.

9For behold, your enemies, LORD, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
10But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
11My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13They are planted in the LORD’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
