YLT Young's Literal Translation
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
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,
2 To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
2 to proclaim your loving kindness in the morning, and your faithfulness every night,
3 On ten strings and on psaltery, On higgaion, with harp.
3 with the ten-stringed lute, with the harp, and with the melody of the lyre.
4 For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
4 For you, Yahweh, have made me glad through your work. I will triumph in the works of your hands.
5 How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
5 How great are your works, Yahweh! Your thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
6 A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:
7 When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
7 though the wicked spring up as the grass, and all the evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
8 And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
8 But you, Yahweh, are on high forever more.
9 For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
9 For behold, your enemies, Yahweh, for behold, your enemies shall perish. All the evildoers will be scattered.
10 And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
10 But you have exalted my horn like that of the wild ox. I am anointed with fresh oil.
11 And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
11 My eye has also seen my enemies. My ears have heard of the wicked enemies who rise up against me.
12 The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree. He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
13 They are planted in Yahweh’s house. They will flourish in our God’s courts.
14 Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
14 They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,
15 To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
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).

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.

    … endowed with senses, compacted with limbs, beautified with form, and, for its general good and safety, hast introduced all vital energies--Thou commandest me to praise Thee for these things, "to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praise unto Thy name, O Most High;" for Thou art a God omnipotent and good, though Thou hadst done nought but these …

    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.
