The author of Psalm 93 is not
mentioned. But the content tells us that this is about the majestic God we
worship. It talks about God’s Sovereign reign. Clearly, this is talking about the
reign of God through His Messiah. Verses 1-2 describe the glorious character of
that King. In verses 3-4 we see His character revealed in nature. In verse 5,
we are told of HIs presence in the temple, His dwelling place.
In verse 1, the Psalmist describes
the Sovereignty of the Lord. Firstly, notice that the word LORD is in capital letters.
He is talking about God, known as Jehovah. Rightly speaking, He is Yahweh, the
covenant keeping God. He not only just reigns, but he reigns in majesty, meaning
with dignity and splendour and magnificence. This Messiah King also reigns in
strength, always doing what is right and appropriate. He also reigns with full
authority. Jesus said, “All authority has been given to
Me in heaven and on earth.” It is that authority and power
that He deploys to reign as King. It’s the only power that will bring stability
and order. Verse 2 tells us that His throne is eternal. He had been there
before time and will be here to reign, when time has ended and the earth shall
be no more. His throne is forever and it shall be made visible ultimately. There will never be any opposing power now or
ever that can stand against our Sovereign King and Lord. The testimonies of the
Word of God is sure and we are assured that His presence will be in His temple,
His holy habitation.
Since the Lord’s reign is permanent. We His people who
place our trust in Him will experience security. The waves of opposition may
pound, seeking to bring destruction. But we know who is in control. He is none
other than our Sovereign Lord who gave Himself for us. He is on the throne
forever. There can be no safer place than being under His rule. What a safe
haven!
