The majesty, stability, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom.The LORD reigns! This declaration emphasizes God's sovereign rule over all creation. It reflects the biblical theme of God's kingship, seen throughout the Psalms and the Old Testament.

It also anticipates the New Testament revelation of Christ as King of Kings (Revelation 19:16). He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved. Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The central figure in this verse, representing the sovereign God of Israel, who reigns over all creation. 2. The World Refers to the earth and all of creation, which is firmly established by God's power and authority. Teaching Points God's SovereigntyThe LORD's reign is absolute and unchallenged. Recognize His authority in every aspect of life and trust in His control over all circumstances. Majesty and Strength God's majesty is not just a matter of appearance but is accompanied by strength. This should inspire awe and reverence in our worship and daily lives. Stability of Creation The world is firmly established by God, reminding us of the stability and order He brings. In a world of chaos, we can find peace in His unchanging nature. Worship and Reverence Our response to God's majesty should be one of worship and reverence. Let this understanding deepen our worship practices and personal devotion. Faith in God's Plan Since the world is established by God, we can have faith in His plan and purpose for our lives, knowing that He is in control.(1) The Lord reigneth.--Comp. Psalm 97:1; Psalm 99:1.

He is clothed with majesty; or, "he hath robed himself in majesty" (Cheyne). The Lord is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself; literally, the Lord is clothed, he hath girded himself, with strength (comp.

When God "takes his kingdom," he firmly establishes his sway over the earth, with its inhabitants, in such sort that "it cannot be moved" - it can suffer no violent agitation or disturbance.
