Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 93:5

Thy testimonies are very sure - All that thou hast borne witness to; all that thou hast affirmed or declared to be true. This would embrace “all that” God has spoken, whether his law, his promises, his commands, his prophecies, or his statements of what has occurred and of what will occur. See the notes at Psalms 19:7.Holiness becometh thine house, O Lord - The psalm seems to have been intended to be used in the sanctuary, as a part of public worship, and the word “holiness” here would seem to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 93:5

Psalms 93:5. Thy testimonies Thy words: either, 1st, Thy precepts, which are commonly called God’s testimonies. And so, having spoken of God’s kingdom, he now showeth that the laws of that kingdom are just, and true, and holy, which is a singular commendation of it. Or, rather, 2d, Thy promises, as may be gathered from the following words, are sure, or true, or faithful; which attribute properly belongs, and everywhere in Scripture is ascribed to, promises rather than to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 93:1-5

Psalms 92-93 God’s rule in an evil worldAccording to the title, Psalms 92:0 was for use on the Sabbath. God is pleased when people cease their ordinary work for a day in order to engage in worshipping him and proclaiming his love (92:1-4). As they meditate upon the nature of God, their thinking will be changed. They will see from God’s point of view and will understand things that are misunderstood by the ordinary person. They will see, for instance, that they need not puzzle over why the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 93:5

"Thy testimonies are very sure:Holiness becometh thy house,O Jehovah forevermore."Here the psalm moves from the turbulent and rebellious nations of mankind and the absolute control over them by the reigning Jehovah to the calm security of eternal truth. Two tremendous lessons appear in this verse.(1) First, is the absolute trustworthiness and truth of the Word of God. No matter what considerations may seem to point in another direction, God's Word is always right. As an apostle stated it, "Let... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 93:5

Psalms 93:5. Thy testimonies are very sure— Here, as in Psalms 19:0 the laws of nature and God's word are considered as laws of the same hand, and having the same promises; עדתיךֶ eidotheka, comprehends both. He adds, Holiness becometh thine house: i.e. "Thou canst as soon renounce thy holiness, as thy faithfulness in performing thy promises. It is the ornament and glory of thy house for ever." REFLECTIONS.—The sovereign dominion, the glorious and eternal kingdom of Jesus, Jehovah, God over... read more

5. While His power inspires dread, His revealed will should secure our confidence (compare Psalms 19:7; Psalms 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. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Psalms 93:1-5

Psalms 93The psalmist rejoiced in the Lord’s reign in this psalm. This is one of the "enthronement" or "theocratic" psalms that depict the righteous rule of God on earth (cf. Psalms 47, 95-99). They focus on God’s sovereignty over His people Israel, but they also point prophetically to the future reign of David’s greatest Son during the Millennium. Psalms 47, 93-100 all affirm Yahweh’s rule over the earth. read more

3. The holiness of Yahweh 93:5In contrast to Baal’s morally corrupt sanctuaries, the Lord’s house was holy. What transpired in the temple contrasted strongly with what took place where the Canaanites worshipped their god. This behavior reflected the character of the two deities. God’s holiness guarantees the trustworthy nature of His words. Unblemished holiness manifests itself in unlimited power. [Note: See Allen, Rediscovering Prophecy, pp. 55-68.] This psalm teaches the reader that God’s... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 93:1-5

This Ps., along with Psalms 95-100, celebrates God as King. The thought which is common to this whole group seems to have been awakened by a national deliverance, which was probably the return from the Babylonian captivity. The present Ps. is brief, and speaks of God’s sovereign rule, His majesty and strength (Psalms 93:1), the eternity and steadfastness of His royal throne (Psalms 93:2), His supremacy above the waves of the sea (Psalms 93:3-4), and the holiness of His Temple (Psalms 93:5).1.... read more
