• Such do not realize that if they spring up suddenly, like the grass, and flourish for a time, it is only the prelude to their destruction. (“Psalms 92” by H. Smith)
• The elevation of the wicked is finally for their destruction. The man untaught of God does not see this; but faith discerns in its adversaries and the power of evil which rises up and presses on it, darkening its horizon, the enemies of the Lord. Hence, though tried more than another, for the power of evil is very painful to it, it has confidence. (“Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 90-93” by J.N. Darby)
