Psalms 92:10

You exalt my horn like that of a wild ox. ¹  I am covered ²  with fresh oil.

Nu 23:22; Nu 24:8; 1Sa 2:1,10; Ps 23:5; Ps 45:7; Ps 89:17,24; Ps 112:9; Ps 132:17; Ps 148:14; Lu 1:69; 2Co 1:21; 1Jo 2:20

¹ sn The horn of the wild ox is frequently a metaphor for military strength; the idiom “to exalt/lift up the horn” signifies military victory (see 1 Sam 2:10; Pss 75:10; 89:24; Lam 2:17).

² tn The Hebrew verb בָּלַל (balal) usually has the nuance “to mix.” Here it seems to mean “to smear” or “to anoint.” Some emend the form to בַּלֹּתַנִי (ballotaniy; a second person form of the verb with a first person suffix) and read, “you anoint me.”
