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.
