My eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies; my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
This psalm teaches us to praise God because His justice and faithfulness never fail. He protects His people, destroys the wicked, and by setting aside the Sabbath for this exercise, He wisely secures us from fainting under affliction and turns us from iniquity by showing that sinners, however they prosper briefly, will swiftly perish.

Commenting on Psalm 92:1-15
The translators filled in blanks that Scripture left empty, inserting "my desire" where the psalmist said nothing, a false repair that turns gold to tinsel. He rested confident that God would vindicate His Providence and right all wrongs, content to leave his cruel foes in God's hands without uttering one word of his own vengeance.
AI summary
The wicked flourish like spring grass, numerous and green, yet this very prosperity is their doom, the sheep fattened for slaughter. The workers of iniquity, though they combine against God and seem to prosper in power, cannot escape His justice; who ever hardened his heart against God and prospered?
