What does the Christian Psalm 91 say?
no comments
The author of Psalm 91 in the Orthodox Bible, as well as in the Latin and Hebrew, is not identified, but from the content of the song it is clear that he was a pious man, whose meaning of life was the constant praise and blessing of the Lord.
The Christian text of Psalm 91 indicates that the life of this righteous man was miraculously prolonged by God's power, and this circumstance gives researchers reason to attribute its authorship to King Hezekiah. The reason for writing seems to be the death of the 185,000-strong Assyrian army near Jerusalem, but it is not possible to document these assumptions.
Christian Psalm 91: Prayer for Enlightenment
In the church text of Psalm 91, the author contrasts the righteous and sinners. He likens the former to perennial Lebanese cedars and palm trees, and the latter to grass, whose lifespan is short. The psalmist promises the reader that a pious person will definitely see the death of his enemies (here it should be taken into account that the Christian text of Psalm 91 was written at a time when military confrontations were the norm), and the Lord will save him from death and elevate him above everyone. In the Orthodox tradition, reading and listening online to Psalm 91 is about people who are far from God, so that He will enlighten their minds.

Song for the Sabbath day.
It is good to glorify the Lord and sing to Your name, O Most High, to proclaim Your mercy in the morning and Your truth in the night, on the ten-stringed psaltery, with a song on the harp. For You have made me glad, O Lord, with Your creation: I admire the works of Your hands. How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are wonderfully deep! A foolish person does not know, and an ignorant person does not understand this. While the wicked arise like grass, and the workers of iniquity bloom to disappear forever, You, O Lord, are exalted forever! For behold, Thy enemies, O Lord, behold, Thy enemies perish, and all the workers of iniquity are scattered; and You exalt my horn like the horn of a unicorn, and I am anointed with fresh oil; and my eye looks on my enemies, and my ears hear about the evildoers who rise up against me. The righteous blooms like a palm tree and rises like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of the Lord, they bloom in the courts of our God; Even in old age they are fruitful, juicy and fresh, to proclaim that the Lord is righteous, my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Orthodox Psalter, text of Psalm 91 in Church Slavonic language
It is good to confess to the Lord and sing to your name, O Most High; proclaim your mercy in the morning and your truth every night, in a ten-stringed psalter with a song on the harp. For you have made me glad, O Lord, in your creation, and in the work of your hand I will rejoice. For your works have been magnified, O Lord; your thoughts have deepened greatly. A foolish man does not know, and a foolish man does not understand these things. The sinners have always vegetated like grass, and all the workers of iniquity have permeated, so that they may be consumed for ever and ever; You are the highest forever, Lord. Behold, behold, thy enemies, O Lord, behold, behold, thy enemies shall perish, and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. And my horn will exalt like a unicorn, and my old age will be covered with oil; and my eye will look upon my enemies, and the evil ones that rise against me will be heard by my ear. The righteous, like Phoenix, will prosper; Like the cedar of Lebanon, it will multiply. The plants of the house of the Lord will flourish in the courts of our God; Mastitis will also increase in old age, and it will be favorable. Let them proclaim that the Lord our God is right, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Interpretation of Psalm 91
- Verse 1-3. The Lord is presented in these verses as a great being who has endowed mankind with laws and commandments. The believer sincerely loves the Lord, and He, in turn, loves him.
- Verse 4-10. The whole world is one big miracle of the Lord. Life in its many forms is also considered a miracle. A believer loves God because he was able to create such a beautiful world, and man lives in it. But sinners do not see beauty. They seek to destroy and trample on the authority of the Lord. Such enemies must be overthrown.
- Verse 11-13. The wicked do terrible things on earth. Most often they trample down the righteous in their iniquity. But the Lord is not blind, he sees everything. And the age of sinners is short-lived.
- Verse 14. The Lord is an ideal being. And faith in him brings only joy and tenderness. In times of need, he will not abandon his creatures and will carefully protect them.
History of writing
Unfortunately, there is no confirmation of the authorship and time of writing the text of Psalm 91. There is only a fact that states that the Jewish people had the song in liturgical use. If you believe one of the versions of the spelling, then its original author is Adam. The first man was created on Friday, and when the Sabbath came, he praised the Lord. This song was slightly edited by the prophet Moses.

(1) To the manager. (Psalm) of the servant of the Lord David, who spoke (before) the Lord the words of this song on the day (when) the Lord saved him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. (2) And he said: I love You, O Lord, my strength! (3) The Lord is my rock and my fortress, my deliverer. My God is my rock, in him I rely, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my support. (4) I call the Lord praised, and I am saved from my enemies. (5) The bonds of death enveloped me, and the torrents of calamity terrified me. (6) Mortal pangs seized me, the snare of death lay before me. (7) In my trouble I called upon the Lord, and I called upon my God; and He heard my voice from His palace, and my cry before Him reached His ears. (8) And the earth shook and trembled, and the foundations of the mountains trembled and shook, for He was angry. (9) Smoke arose from His nostrils and devouring fire from His mouth; the coals burned from Him. (10) And He bowed down the heavens, and came down, and darkness was under His feet. (11) And he sat on the cherub, and flew, and was carried away on the wings of the wind. (12) And he made darkness a shelter for himself, a tent around him; the darkness of the waters is (from) the clouds of heaven. (13) From the brightness before Him, His clouds passed (with) hail and coals of fire. (14) And the Lord thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave His voice; hail and coals of fire. (15) And he sent forth his arrows, and scattered them, and threw forth lightning, and threw them into confusion. (16) And the channels of the waters were opened, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at the terrible voice of Thy voice, O Lord, at the breath of the wind from Thy nostrils. (17) He sent from on high, took me, brought me out of many waters. (18) (And) he delivered me from my strong enemy and from my haters who are stronger than me. (19) They hastened (to rise up) against me in the day of my calamity, but the Lord was my strength. (20) And He brought me out into the open, He saved me, for He loves me. (21) The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has rewarded me according to the integrity of my hands. (22) For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have not departed from my God. (23) For all His laws are before me, and His statutes I have not put aside from myself. (24) I was blameless before Him and took care lest I sin. (25) And the Lord rewarded me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanliness of my hands in His sight. (26) You deal mercifully with the merciful, and with the blameless man according to his integrity. (27) You deal with the pure according to his purity, with the obstinate according to his obstinacy. (28) For you save humble people, and you humble the haughty eyes; (29) For You kindle my lamp, The Lord my God gives light to my darkness; (30) For with You I crush the army and with my God I jump over the fortress wall. (31) The Lord is perfect in His way, the word of the Lord is true, He is a shield to all who put their trust in Him. (32) For who is God besides the Lord, and who is the stronghold besides our God? (33) God girds me with strength and gives me a straight path, (34) He makes my feet like a deer and places me on my heights, (35) He trains my hands in battle, and the bronze bow is broken in my hands. (36) And You have given me the shield of Your salvation, and Your right hand upholds me, and Your mercy magnifies me. (37) You enlarge my steps under me, and my feet do not stumble. (38) I pursue my enemies and overtake them, and I will not return until I destroy them. (39) I smite them, and they will not be able to stand up; they have fallen under my feet. (40) You have girded me with strength for war, you have brought into subjection those who rose up against me. (41) And You turned my enemies to me with your rear, and I destroyed my haters. (42) They cry out, but there is no one to save; (they cried out) to the Lord - but He did not answer them. (43) And I will crush them like dust into the wind, like the dirt of the street, I will scatter them. (44) You delivered me from the rebels of my people, you made me the leader of the tribes; a people whom I did not know serves me. (45) Only when they hear (about me) do they submit to me, foreigners curry favor with me. (46) The foreigners will wither and become lame (from chains) in the places of their imprisonment. (47) As the Lord lives, and blessed is my stronghold, and exalted be the God of my salvation, (48) The God who avenges me and subdues the nations before me. (49) He who delivers me from my enemies! And You lift me up above those who stand against me, You save me from the evildoer. (50) Therefore I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations, and I will sing praises to Your name. (51) He creates great salvation (for) His king, and He shows mercy to His anointed David and to his descendants forever.>
91:1Psalm. Song for the Sabbath day.
A song to God for the Sabbath day, let’s listen to what those who sang it were worried about.
91:2,3
It is good to praise the Lord and to sing to Your name, O Most High, 3 To proclaim Your mercy in the morning and Your truth in the night.
It is not good for God’s servant to do nothing on the Sabbath and spend it on satisfying his own needs. But to take care of the spiritual: to glorify the Lord with singing, to proclaim His mercy in the morning and His truth at night, that is, constantly throughout the entire Sabbath day to praise the God of His heart for all the blessings with which He saturates man in his few days.
91:4-6
on a ten-stringed instrument and a psalter, with a song on the harp.
5 For You have made me glad, O Lord, in Your creation: I admire the works of Your hands. 6 How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are wonderfully deep! The man of God experiences such an inner impulse, for he observes the creation of the hands of his Creator and reflects on the depths of His plans for man.
91:7
A foolish man does not know, and an ignorant man does not understand.
A person who does not like to reflect and look for meaning in what is happening to him will not be able to admire the miracle and greatness of God’s plans
91:8,9
While the wicked spring up like grass, and the workers of iniquity bloom to perish forever— 9 You, O Lord, are exalted forever!
For example, this plan of God is incomprehensible to the wicked: while the wicked prospers only to perish forever, God is exalted forever, that is, he will never fade, unlike the wicked who prosper temporarily.
91:10-12
For behold, thy enemies, O Lord, behold, thy enemies perish, and all the workers of iniquity are scattered;
11 But You exalt my horn like the horn of a unicorn, and I am anointed with fresh oil; 12 And my eye looks on my enemies, and my ears hear about the evildoers who rise up against me. It is also inaccessible to the wicked to understand that all the enemies of God are crumbling, and the horn of the ruler of the people of God is strengthened, and his power and glory are strengthened (strengthened), for he sees how all the evildoers who rise up against him come into disrepair
91:13,14
The righteous blossoms like a palm tree, and stands tall like a cedar in Lebanon.
14 Planted in the house of the Lord, they bloom in the courts of our God; The righteous, unlike the wicked, prospers. But not on its own, but on the condition that it dwells in the courtyards of the House of God. And not because to settle there for selfish reasons, taking advantage of the benefits. But because he loves to live with God and according to His commandments, and they do not think of their lives anywhere except in the courtyards of the monastery of God.
91:15,16
15 even in old age they are fruitful, juicy and fresh, 16 to proclaim that the Lord is righteous, my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
And old age is not an obstacle to prosperity for God’s servants, for they do not prosper for themselves, but in order to proclaim the righteousness of God and the need for everyone to draw closer to Him.
This is what the Saturday song is about: praising the Almighty and acquiring knowledge from Him about the meaning of life.
Psalter
Psalm, song, on the Sabbath day, 91.
2 It is good for me to glorify You, O Lord, to sing praises to Your name, O Most High;
3 To proclaim Your mercy in the morning, Your truth every night,
4 With song, on the ten-stringed psalter and on the harp!
5 For You have made me glad, O Lord, in all Your creation, and in the works of Your hands I will rejoice.
6 For Your works are full of greatness, O Lord, Your thoughts are deep.
7 A foolish man does not know them; a foolish man does not understand.
8 Although sinners grow like grass, and the workers of iniquity increase in number, they will be destroyed forever.
9 But You, O Lord, live forever!
10 For all Your enemies, O Lord, all Your enemies will perish, and the workers of iniquity will be scattered.
11 And my dignity will be exalted like the horn of a unicorn, and in my old age I will be anointed with oil;
12 And my eye will look upon my enemies, and my ear will hear the destruction of the treacherous ones who rise up against me.
13 The righteous will blossom like the date palm; like the cedars of Lebanon, they will multiply.
14 Those who are rooted in the house of the Lord, in the courts of our God, will flourish;
15 And there will be many of them, reaching venerable old age and prospering.
16 Let them tell people the greatness of the righteousness of the Lord our God, and that there is no unrighteousness in Him!
On the day before the Sabbath, when the earth was filled, David's song of praise, 92
1 The Lord reigned, clothed with beauty; The Lord clothed himself with strength and girded himself; For He has established the world, and it will not be shaken.
2 Your Throne was prepared from the beginning; You are eternal.
3 The rivers have made a noise, O Lord, the rivers have lifted up their voice;
4 The rivers swell their waves, and the voice of many waters is heard.
5 Wonderful are the high waves of the sea; marvelous in the heights of Heaven is the Lord.
6 Your testimonies are true indeed. There is holiness inherent in Your house, O Lord, for endless days.
Psalm of David, on the fourth day of the week, 93
1 The God of rewards, the Lord, the God of rewards, has revealed himself to us.
2 Arise, Judge of the earth, take vengeance on the proud!
3 How long will sinners, O Lord, how long will sinners boast?
4 Will they speak and spread falsehood, will the workers of iniquity speak?
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have humiliated, they have done evil to Thy property;
6 They killed the widow and the orphan, and they killed the stranger.
7 And they said, “The Lord will not see, neither will the God of Jacob understand.”
8 Come to your senses, you foolish people, foolish people, be wise!
9 Does He who made the ear not hear? And He who created the eye does not see your crimes?
10 Will not the Teacher of the nations, Who teaches man understanding, rebuke you?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men; He sees that they are vanity.
12 Blessed is the man whom You guide, O Lord, and teach Your law.
13 May he remain meek in the days of trouble, until the sinner falls into the pit.
14 For the Lord will not reject His people, nor forsake His inheritance,
15 Until righteousness prevails in judgment, even those who adhere to it and are righteous in heart.
16 Who will fight with me against the treacherous? And who will rise up with me against the workers of iniquity?
17 If the Lord had not helped me, my soul would have already entered hell.
18 When I said, “My foot has faltered,” Thy mercy, O Lord, helped me;
19 When sorrows tormented my heart, Your consolations brought joy to my soul.
20 Let not the kingdom of the wicked, who cause sorrow to people, contrary to Your will, stand before You!
21 They will persecute the righteous and condemn innocent blood.
22 But the Lord was my refuge; my God showed me sure help.
23 And the Lord will reward them for their iniquities; the Lord God will destroy them for their wickedness.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen
Song of praise of David, not inscribed among the Jews, 94
1 Come, let us sing to the Lord with joy, let us cry to God our Savior;
2 Let us come before His face with praise and cry out to Him in psalms!
3 For great is our God, the Lord, the Great King in all the earth;
4 For the ends of the earth are in His hands, and the tops of the mountains are subject to Him.
5 For the sea is subject to Him, and He created it, and His hands made the dry land.
6 Come, let us worship and fall down before Him, and weep before the Lord who created us!
7 For He is our God, and we are like sheep in His pasture, sheep that He feeds. And now, when you hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts like those who provoked His wrath in the days of trial in the wilderness!
9 “There your fathers tempted Me, they tempted Me, and they saw My doings.
10 For forty years I was indignant at this people and said: They continually err in heart, and have not known My ways;
11 Therefore I swore in My wrath that they should not enter My rest.”
The song of praise of David, when the house was built after the captivity, is not written among the Jews, 95
1 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless His name, proclaim every day that our salvation is in Him!
3 Proclaim His glory to all nations, His wonders to all nations!
4 For the Lord is great and glorified, terrible to all gods.
5 For all the gods of the heathen are demons; and the Lord created the heavens.
6 Praise and beauty are before Him, holiness and splendor are in His sanctuary.
7 Bring gifts to the Lord, fathers of the tribes, give glory and honor to the Lord!
8 Give glory to the name of the Lord! Take the sacrifices and enter His courts!
9 Worship the Lord in His holy court! Let the whole earth shake before His face!
10 Tell the nations that the Lord reigns; For He has established the world, and it will not be shaken; He will judge the nations according to His righteousness.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth rejoice! May the sea and everything in it be shaken!
12 The fields and all who live in them will rejoice; then all the trees of the grove will rejoice before the face of the Lord;
13 For He is coming, coming to judge the earth, to judge the world in righteousness and the nations according to His truth.
The psalm of David, when his land was settled, is not inscribed among the Jews, 96
1 The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice, let the many islands rejoice!
2 Cloud and darkness were around him; righteousness and law are the foundation of His Throne.
3 A fire will burn before Him, destroying all His enemies.
4 His lightnings illuminated the world; I saw and the earth shook.
5 The mountains melted like wax before the Lord, even before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens declared His righteousness, and all nations saw His glory.
7 Let all who bow down to graven images and boast about their idols be put to shame! Worship God, all His Angels!
8 Zion heard and rejoiced, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced in Thy righteous judgments, O Lord;
9 For You, the Most High, are Lord of all the earth, and are highly exalted above all gods.
10 You who love the Lord, hate evil! The Lord protects the souls of His righteous, and will deliver them from the hand of the sinner.
11 Light has shined on the righteous, and joy on those who are pure in heart.
12 Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord; remember and praise His holiness!
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen
Psalm of David, 97
1 Sing a new song to the Lord, for the Lord has done wonderful things; His right hand, His holy hand, saved the people.
2 The Lord has made known to us the way of salvation; He revealed His truth to the people.
3 He remembered the kindness that He showed to Jacob, the truth that He told the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth saw the salvation sent by our God.
4 Cry to God, all the earth, sing and rejoice and sing!
5 Sing to the Lord, playing the harp and singing psalms!
6 Blow wrought trumpets and horn trumpets before the Lord the King!
7 Let the sea and all that is in it be shaken, the world and all who live in it!
8 Let the rivers clasp their hands, let the mountains rejoice in the presence of the Lord,
9 For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth, to judge the world in righteousness and the nations in His righteousness!
Psalm of David, 98
1 The Lord reigns; let the nations tremble before Him! Soaring on the Cherubim reigned; let the earth shake!
2 Great is the Lord in Zion, exalted above all nations.
3 Let them praise His great name, for it is awesome and holy!
4 Glory to the King His judgment is just. You established righteousness, justice and righteousness for Jacob You created.
5 Exalt the Lord our God and worship His footstool, for it is holy!
6 Moses and Aaron are among the company of His priests, and Samuel is among those who call upon His name; They called on the Lord, and He listened to them.
7 In the pillar of cloud He spoke to them, for they kept His testimonies and His commandments, which He gave them.
8 O Lord our God, You listened to them; God, You were merciful to them, but You subjected their opponents to punishment.
9 Exalt the Lord our God and worship Him on His holy mountain; for holy is the Lord our God!
Psalm of David, praise, 99
1-2 Cry to God, all the earth! Serve the Lord with joy, appear before Him with joy!
3 Know that the Lord is truly our God! He created us, and we did not create Him; we are His people, sheep in His fields.
4 Enter into His gates with praise, into His courts with singing! Praise Him, praise His name!
5 For the Lord is good, His lovingkindness endures forever, His truth endures from generation to generation.
Psalm of David, 100
1 I will sing of your mercy and judgment, O Lord!
2 I sing and meditate on the blameless path. When will you visit me? I walked in kindness of my heart under the roof of my house.
3 I turned away my eyes from wicked deeds; I hated people who commit crimes.
4 The hearts of the deceitful were strange to me; I didn’t want to know the evil ones who betrayed me.
5 Whoever secretly slanderes his neighbor, I have driven out; He who has a proud eye and a greedy heart has not eaten food with him.
6 My eyes look upon the faithful children of the earth, that they may be with me; Those who walk in the blameless way have served me.
7 No proud man dwelt under the roof of my house; he who spoke wicked words was wrong in my sight.
8 In the morning I destroyed the sinners of the earth, driving out those who committed iniquity from the city of the Lord.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen
