Psalms Chapter 93

“The Lord reigneth, etc.] The King Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the true Jehovah. God over all, the Lord God omnipotent: he has reigned, he was set up as King from everlasting; he reigned throughout the whole Old Testament dispensation; he was promised, and prophesied of, as a King; he came as such, in human nature, into the world, though his kingdom was not with observation; when he ascended to heaven, he was made or declared Lord and Christ, and was crowned with glory and honour; he now reigns in the hearts of his people, by his Spirit and grace; and, ere long, he will take to himself his great power,…”

“The writer, appealing to God in view of the oppression of enemies, rebukes them for their wickedness and folly, and encourages himself, in the confidence that God will punish evildoers, and favor His people. (Psa. 94:1-23) God's revenge is His judicial infliction of righteous punishment. show thyself--(Compare Margin).”

“The Lord reigneth - The same commencement of a psalm occurs in Psalms 97:1-12; Psalms 99:1-9. The same idea is often found in the Scriptures. 1 Chronicles 16:31; Psalms 47:8; Isaiah 52:7; Revelation 19:6. The thought seems abrupt here.

“Pss 93–100 These psalms challenge the doubts created by the Exile (see Ps 89) and answer the questions asked in 90:11, 13.

Ps 93 The everlasting Lord gloriously establishes his kingship (cp. Pss 47, 99–100). 93:1 robed in majesty: The Lord stands victorious both before and after battle (see 45:3).”
