Psalm 92/Notes/Phrasal.V. 12.700341

• Although the construction נבט plus ב (and also ראה) often communicates "looking upon someone in victory," as here in וַתַּבֵּט עֵינִי בְּשׁוּרָי, the same sense with שׁמע בְּ is rare. Here, BDB suggest a unique instance of "hear exultantly of their fate," though probably imitating the previous clause. As noted by Goldingay, "The implication of 'hear' follows from that [the previous clause]; the foes can be heard crying out in panic instead of in a battle shout", and Tanner & Jacobson: "Evil may rise up, but eventually one will hear something different."
