Psalms 93

Ps 93:1-5.

This and the six following Psalms were applied by the Jews to the times

of the Messiah. The theme is God's supremacy in creation and

providence.

1. God is described as a King entering on His reign, and, for robes

of royalty, investing Himself with the glorious attributes of His

nature. The result of His thus reigning is the durability of the world.

2-4. His underived power exceeds the most sublime exhibitions of the

most powerful objects in nature

(Ps 89:9).

5. While His power inspires dread, His revealed will should secure our

confidence (compare

Ps 19:7; 25:10),

and thus fear and love combined, producing all holy emotions, should

distinguish the worship we offer in His house, both earthly and

heavenly.
