Psalms 93:1-5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

The psalm celbrates the majesty of

Jehovah as Creator and Ruler of the universe.

Three principal thoughts—

I. GOD IS ABLE TO OVERCOME THE FIERCEST OPPOSITION OF HIS FOES. The "floods" and "many waters" and "mighty waves" are figures denoting the angry and turbulent opposition of his foes. But he is mightier than and high above them all.

1. He is actual King, and reigns over the whole universe. (Psalms 93:1.) He hath girded himself with strength for the subjugation of his enemies.

2. He created man and nature. (Psalms 93:1.) "The world is established, that it cannot be moved." It stands fast by his will and power.

3. His righteous sway and government are of eternal duration. (Psalms 93:2, Psalms 93:4.) And cannot be overthrown by the utmost power of man.

II. GOD IS NOT ONLY ABLE BUT FAITHFUL TO FULFIL THE PROMISES HE HAS MADE. (Psalms 93:5.) Promises of deliverance from captivity, and of safety and salvation.

III. BECAUSE GOD IS MIGHTY AND FAITHFUL AND HOLY, HE WILL PRESERVE HIS CHURCH INVIOLATE. (Psalms 93:5.) God dwells with his Church and people, and is the guarantee of their holiness and perfection.—S.
