Midrash su Salmi 92:9
וְאַתָּ֥ה מָר֗וֹם לְעֹלָ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃
Ma tu, o Eterno, sei in alto per sempre.
Midrash Tanchuma
This is the thing that thou shalt do unto them (Exod. 29:1). Scripture states elsewhere in reference to this verse: But Thou, O Lord, art on high for evermore (Ps. 92:9). And preceding this is written: When the wicked spring up as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they may be destroyed forever (ibid., v. 8). Whenever the Holy One, blessed be He, exacts retribution from the wicked, His name is glorified throughout the world, as it is said: And against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments; I am the Lord (Exod. 12:12).

Midrash Tanchuma
But Thou, O Lord, art on high for evermore (Ps. 92:9). Whenever a mortal king judges a man and acquits him, they praise him, but whenever he holds a man guilty, they do not praise him. When the Holy One, blessed be He, benefits a person, His praises are proclaimed: “Blessed is the good and He who does good,” and when evil befalls a person, His praises are also proclaimed: “Blessed be the truthful judge.” Hence, Thou art on high for evermore. Similarly David said: I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord. I found trouble and sorrow, but I called upon the name of the Lord (Ps. 116:3–4). And likewise, In God—I will praise His word—In the Lord—I will praise His word (Ps. 56:11). Similarly, Job declared: The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord (Job 1:21).

"When the wicked spring up as the grass" (Ps. 92:7). True (it is) that Thou, O Lord, beholdest the wicked, that they are as numerous as the grass to cover the face of all the earth, and all the worshippers of idols flourish, (Thou knowest) that they and their works are an evil iniquity for the days of the Messiah. The Holy One, blessed be He, has only multiplied them in order to destroy them from this world and from the world to come, as it is said, "To have them destroyed for ever and ever. And thou, O Lord, art on high for evermore" (Ps. 92:7, 8). David saw that the wicked increased like grass, (so as) to cover the face of all the earth, and that all the worshippers of idols flourished, and that they and their works were iniquity, and he did not say "Hallelujah" ("praise ye the Lord") until he perceived that in the future they would be destroyed from this world and from the world to come; and he said "Hallelujah," as it is said, "Sinners shall be consumed out of the earth, and the wicked shall be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. Praise ye the Lord" (Ps. 104:35). (Then will He be) King exalted in the heights and in the depths, as it is said, "And thou, O Lord, art on high for evermore" (Ps. 92:8).

Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer
"For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord" (Ps. 92:9); Israel said: Sovereign of all worlds! Thou hast placed all our enemies over us (to afflict us with) a heavy yoke on our backs, but we know that they are doomed to destruction, as it is said, "O Lord, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish" (ibid.). And all || idolaters, for they and their works are iniquity, shall be scattered like chaff before the wind.
