1 A Canticle Psalm. On the day of the Sabbath.
·
2 It is good to confess to the Lord and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High:
92:1 A Psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. It is a good thing to give thanks to Yahweh, to sing praises to your name, Most High,
3 to announce your mercy in the morning, and your truth throughout the night,
92:2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
4 upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery, with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.
92:3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
5 For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings, and I will exult in the works of your hands.
92:4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
6 How great are your works, O Lord! Your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.
92:5 How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
7 A foolish man will not know these things, and a senseless one will not understand:
92:6 A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
8 when sinners will have risen up like grass, and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared, that they shall pass away, age after age.
92:7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
9 But you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.
92:8 But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.
10 For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish, and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
92:9 For behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
11 And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast, and my old age will be exalted in fruitful mercy.
92:10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
12 And my eye has looked down upon my enemies, and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.
92:11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
13 The just one will flourish like the palm tree. He will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.
92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
14 Those planted in the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
92:13 They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
15 They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age, and they will endure well,
92:14 They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
16 so that they may announce that the Lord our God is righteous and that there is no iniquity in him.
92:15 to show that Yahweh is upright. He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness 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.
