Psalms Chapter 93

1 The LORD reigns! He is clothed with majesty! The LORD is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can't be moved.

2 Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.

3 The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.

4 Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty.

5 Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, LORD, forever more.

Psalms Chapter 93 Guide

There is a great majesty about this song. It celebrates Jehovah’s assumption of the throne and government. The form in which the preliminary statements are made conveys the impression, not so much of the eternal sovereignty of the King, as the He has taken up His position, and acted upon it. The result is that the stability of all things is assured. This assumption of authority is but the enforcement of a perpetual fact, for "Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting."

Moreover, this assumption has not been without opposition, and the figure of the storm-tossed sea is made use of to indicate the strength of this opposition, "The floods have lifted up against him."

All this has been of no avail. The King is high above, and therefore Lord of them. This psalm was written in all likelihood after some deliverance Jehovah wrought for His people, but through the open window the singer, consciously or unconsciously, saw the far distant light of another day in which the Kingdom of God will be set up in His might, and the song of an established order shall be the anthem of His praise.

Psalms Chapter 93 Commentary

Chapter Outline

  1. The majesty, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom.

Verses 1-5

The Lord might have displayed only his justice, holiness, and awful power, in his dealings with fallen men; but he has been pleased to display the riches of his mercy, and the power of his renewing grace. In this great work, the Father has given all power to his Son, the Lord from heaven, who has made atonement for our sins. He not only can pardon, but deliver and protect all who trust in him. His word is past, and all the saints may rely upon it. Whatever was foretold concerning the kingdom of the Messiah, must be fulfilled in due time. All his people ought to be very strictly pure. God's church is his house; it is a holy house, cleansed from sin, and employed in his service. Where there is purity, there shall be peace. Let all carefully look if this kingdom is set up in their hearts.

From the "Concise Commentary on the Bible" by Matthew Henry.
