The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 93:1-5

The Eternal Majesty of the Messiah. Even the Jewish commentators applied this psalm to the times of the Messiah. It is a glorious song of praise to Jehovah, the second person of the Godhead, and to the majesty of His kingdom. v. 1. The Lord reigneth, He is King from everlasting to everlasting; He is clothed with majesty; according to His human nature He has been clothed with the majesty which was His, according to His divine nature, from eternity. The Lord is clothed with strength,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 93:1-5

the Lord Who Ruleth over All Psalms 93:1-5 ; Psalms 94:1-5 It is thought that these two psalms date from the Assyrian invasion in Hezekiah’s time, and that the psalmist compares the strength of Sennacherib and his hosts to the mighty breakers of the sea. But they well befit all times of anxiety and opposition. It is interesting to remember, also, that these and the six psalms which follow have always been applied by the Jews to the days of the Messiah. Surely, then, we may apply them to our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 93:1-5

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.” ... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 93:1-5

INTRODUCTIONThe author of this Psalm and the occasion on which it was written are unknown.“The sum and substance of this Psalm,” says Perowne, “is contained in the eighth verse of the preceding Psalm. It celebrates the majesty of Jehovah as Ruler of the universe. He is Creator of the world. He has been its King from everlasting: it rests upon Him and is stayed by His might. All the powers of nature obey Him, however lawless they may seem, as all the swelling and rage of men, of which those are... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 93:1-5

This psalm was sung when David removed the ark, and triumphed over every foe. But to this, and some following psalms, there is no title in the Hebrew, nor in the Hexapla of Origen, nor in Eusebius, as both Euthimius and Theodoret testify. It was written after the storms of war and commotion had subsided, and while the courts or worship of the Lord flourished; for it is said, Psalms 93:5, Holiness becometh thine house for ever. It contemplates the majesty of God from the beginning of the world,... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Psalms 93:1-5

Psalms 93:1-5The Lord reigneth; He is clothed with majesty. The Supreme Ruler of the worldThe psalm teaches the following things concerning the rule of God over the world:--I. It is all-glorious. God “clothed!” Poetry has represented the universe as the costume of the mighty Maker. How inexpressibly magnificent is that costume! But His clothing is of no material fabric. His moral character is His garment, and that character is transcendently grand--“glorious in holiness.”II. It is all-mighty.... read more
