Notes on this text (3)

1 A Psalm of a Song for the Sabbath-day. 2 It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to thy name, O thou Most High; 3 to proclaim thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth by night, 4 on a psaltery of ten strings, with a song on the harp. 5 For thou, O Lord, hast made me glad with thy work: and in the operations of thy hands will I exult. 6 How have thy works been magnified, O Lord! thy thoughts are very deep. 7 A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this. 8 When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed for ever. 9 But thou, O Lord, art most high for ever. 10 For, behold, thine enemies shall perish; and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 11 But my horn shall be exalted as [the horn] of a unicorn; and mine old age with rich mercy. 12 And mine eye has seen mine enemies, and mine ear shall hear the wicked that rise up against me. 13 The righteous shall flourish as a palm-tree: he shall be increased as the cedar in Libanus. 14 They that are planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. 15 Then shall they be increased in a fine old age; and they shall be prosperous; that they may declare 16 that the Lord my God is righteous, and there is no iniquity in him.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 92.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XCI)

    This Psalm is that from which the Devil dared to tempt our Lord Jesus Christ: let us therefore attend to it, that thus armed, we may be enabled to resist the tempter, not presuming in ourselves, but in Him who before us was tempted, that we might not be overcome when tempted.

    He is called good, as the Father is good, and He who was begotten of the Good is good, and to the Spirit His goodness is essence.
