Psalmen 93 · Scripture Insight Network

1De HEERE regeert, Hij is met hoogheid bekleed; de HEERE is bekleed met sterkte, Hij heeft Zich omgord. Ook is de wereld bevestigd, zij zal niet wankelen.💬

2Van toen af is Uw troon bevestigd, Gij zijt van eeuwigheid af.

3De rivieren verheffen, o HEERE! de rivieren verheffen haar bruisen; de rivieren verheffen haar aanstoting.

4Doch de HEERE in de hoogte is geweldiger dan het bruisen van grote wateren, dan de geweldige baren der zee.

5Uw getuigenissen zijn zeer getrouw; de heiligheid is Uw huize sierlijk, HEERE! tot lange dagen.

This short psalm sets forth the honour of the kingdom of God among men, to his glory, the terror of his enemies, and the comfort of all his loving subjects. It relates both to the kingdom of his providence, by which he upholds and governs the world, and especially to the kingdom of his grace, by which he secures the church, sanctifies and preserves it. The administration of both these kingdoms is put into the hands of the Messiah, and to him, doubtless, the prophet here hears witness, and to his kingdom, speaking of it as present, because sure; and because, as the eternal Word, even before his incarnation he was Lord of all. Concerning God's kingdom glorious things are here spoken. I. Have other kings their royal robes? So has he (Psa 93:1). II. Have they their thrones? So has he (Psa 93:2). III. Have they their enemies whom they subdue and triumph over? So has he (Psa 93:3, Psa 93:4). IV. Is it their honour to be faithful and holy? So it is his (Psa 93:5). In singing this psalm we forget ourselves if we forget Christ, to whom the Father has given all power both in heaven and in earth.

Next to the being of God there is nothing that we are more concerned to believe and consider than God's dominion, that Jehovah is God, and that this God reigns (Psa 93:1), not only that he is King of right, and is the owner and proprietor of all persons and things, but that he is King in fact, and does direct and dispose of all the creatures and all their actions according to the counsel of his own will. This is celebrated here, and in many other psalms: T…
