Psalm 93:1-5 The LORD reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he has girded himself… Psalm 93:1-5. The psalm celebrates 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. (Ver. 1.) He hath girded himself with strength for the subjugation of his enemies. 2. He created man and nature. (Ver. 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. (Vers. 2, 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. (Ver. 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. (Ver. 5.) God dwells with his Church and people, and is the guarantee of their holiness and perfection. - S. Parallel Verses KJV: The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. |
