Psalm 93
1. The majesty, stability, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom.














Your throne
The phrase "Your throne" refers to the seat of divine authority and power. In the Hebrew context, the word for "throne" is "כִּסֵּא" (kisse), which signifies a place of royal dignity and governance. Throughout the Bible, the throne is a symbol of God's sovereign rule over the universe. It is not just a physical seat but represents His eternal kingship and the unchanging nature of His dominion. The imagery of a throne conveys stability, majesty, and the rightful place of God as the supreme ruler. In the ancient Near Eastern context, a throne was often associated with judgment and the administration of justice, underscoring God's role as the ultimate judge and lawgiver.

was established
The phrase "was established" indicates a firm, unshakeable foundation. The Hebrew word used here is "כּוּן" (kun), which means to be firm, stable, or securely determined. This conveys the idea that God's authority and reign are not recent developments but have been firmly set in place from the beginning. The establishment of God's throne suggests permanence and reliability, assuring believers that His rule is not subject to change or challenge. Historically, this reflects the ancient belief in the eternal nature of divine kingship, contrasting with the temporal and often unstable reigns of earthly kings.

long ago
"Long ago" points to the ancient and timeless nature of God's reign. The Hebrew term "מֵאָז" (me'az) can be translated as "from of old" or "from ancient times," emphasizing the eternal aspect of God's sovereignty. This phrase reassures believers that God's rule predates creation and human history, affirming His omnipotence and omniscience. In a historical context, this would remind the Israelites of God's faithfulness throughout generations, reinforcing their trust in His unchanging nature and eternal promises.

You are from all eternity
The phrase "You are from all eternity" highlights the everlasting existence of God. The Hebrew expression "מֵעוֹלָם" (me'olam) translates to "from everlasting" or "from eternity," underscoring the concept of God's timelessness. Unlike human rulers whose reigns are limited by time, God's existence transcends time itself. This eternal nature is a foundational belief in conservative Christian theology, affirming that God is the Alpha and Omega, without beginning or end. It provides comfort and assurance to believers, knowing that the God they worship is not bound by the constraints of time and is ever-present throughout all ages. This eternal perspective encourages faith and trust in God's unchanging character and His sovereign plan for creation.

Verse 2. - Thy throne is established of old. Though God from time to time comes forward, as it were, and asserts his sovereignty, yet it is no new rule that he sets up. He has always been the King both of heaven and earth. Thou art from everlasting. Not merely from "of old," but from all eternity (comp. Psalm 90:2; Proverbs 8:23; Isaiah 63:15; Micah 5:2; Habakkuk 1:12).
