Psalm 93:1-5 The LORD reigns, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, with which he has girded himself… I. THE KING. 1. Supreme in authority — none higher, greater; the primal source of law. 2. Infinite in wisdom — omniscient, unerring. 3. Holy in character (ver. 5) knowing nothing of prejudice, partiality, connivance at wrongdoing: hence, righteous in administration, consistent, and beautiful in all. 4. Glorious in apparel — "clothed with majesty," "clothed with strength" (His attributes are His royal robes) (ver. 1). 5. Excellent in laws (ver. 5) — "thy testimonies are very sure," in rewarding obedience, in punishing transgression — they are just, perfect, good, can never fail. 6. Almighty in power (vers. 3, 4) — tumults and wars are all under His sovereign control. II. THE KINGDOM. 1. Creation. 2. Providence. 3. Grace. 4. Everywhere. From eternity unto eternity. III. THE LESSONS. 1. We must first know Him as Saviour before we can obey Him as Sovereign. 2. Despite the most furious storms that may rage around the Christian or the Church, we have nothing to fear while "The Lord reigneth." He is mightier than nature's mightiest forces, and stronger than the "Strong man armed." We are "in His hand"; nor earth nor hell can pluck us thence (J. O. Keen, D.D.) 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. |
