Ps.91:1. Psalm of song on the Sabbath day. By Sabbath, or Sabbath, we can understand the future inheritance, because the labors here will be followed by rest when we receive our rewards. Therefore, the Prophet praises that future peace. Ps.91:2. It is good to confess to the Lord. He means praise, and makes a promise to repeat it continually day and night for what the Only Begotten has done. What did He do? Is this not what the resurrection has in store for us? Ps.91:3. Proclaim your mercy in the morning, I will proclaim Your mercy in the morning, and Your steadfastness at night. Ps.91:4. In a ten-stringed psalter with a song in the gusle. The ten-stringed psalter refers to the body as having five senses and five mental activities, since each sense reveals a special activity. Ps.91:5. For You, Lord, have made me glad in Your creation. Looking at Your creations and the mysteries of the economy, I am delighted and rejoice, and in spiritual pleasure I encourage my lips to sing. Ps.91:6. How great are Thy works, O Lord! Singing songs of Your works and the depth of Your thoughts. I am amazed at what You have done in your economy. But the foolish do not understand the depth of the mystery. Ps.91:7. The husband is crazy and does not know. Expresses the same thing in different words; because he who is sick in mind and devoid of meaning does not know this at all and will not listen about it. Ps.91:8. The sinner always vegetates like grass. Those who do not understand the sacraments, he says, will become like grass, i.e. having no depth, they will soon fall and dry up. Ps.91:11. And My horn will exalt like a unicorn. When the enemies are scattered and destroyed, then My horn, that is, the prepared kingdom, will become glorious. And we, who lead You, having seen the destruction of Your enemies, will be magnified and exalted by You, as those who have been freed from the delusion of polytheism and who worship You, the true God. For the Psalmist here again mentioned the unicorn, in order to suggest with one horn the idea of ​​one God. Just as this animal received from nature one horn, so the pets of piety worship a single Deity. And my old age is in the oil of mastitis. After the labors I have endured, I will then use oil for the royal consecration, and this will be a reward for me for long-term labors. Ps.91:12. And mine eye shall look upon my enemies.

It is said “well-accepted” instead of “blessed” because they will be rewarded with blessings, “whom no eye has seen, and no ear has heard” (1 Cor. 2:9). Ps.91:16. For the Lord our God is right. When they enjoy the prepared blessings in the heavenly abodes, then they will proclaim that the Lord is righteous and reigning, who made the lawless and wicked wither like grass, and planted the righteous and pious in the mountain villages like cedars and dates. from God, because He is inaccessible to evil.
