Psalms 92:7

5 How great are Your works, O LORD, how deep are Your thoughts!

6 A senseless man does not know, and a fool does not understand,

that though the wicked sprout like grass, and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.

8 But You, O LORD, are exalted forever!

9 For surely Your enemies, O LORD, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
