Psalms 93 — The Lord Reigneth, He Is Clothed With Majesty

Summary

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. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. The floods have lifted up. The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.

Key verse

“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.”

Outline

  2. v.3-5 Mightier than the floods
Verse-by-verse
1 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.

The Lord reigneth. The simplest theology, the deepest comfort. He reigns.

The world also is stablished. Not falling; stablished. The world's wobble is not the throne's.

4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

Mightier than the noise of many waters. Loud waves; louder Lord. The chaos at sea cannot drown Him out.

A perspective for noise-fatigued souls. He is louder than the headlines.
