Psalms 93:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

The majesty, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom.

THIS psalm has no title in the Hebrew; but it is supposed to be David's, to whom it is attributed by the LXX, and most of the ancient versions. It was used by the Jews in their public worship on the day before the Sabbath; and by their interpretation, this and all the psalms to the 100th, are to be understood in their sublimest sense, of the kingdom of Christ.

Psalms 93:1. The Lord reigneth It was the Psalmist's glory and confidence, that though the nations boasted of the power and splendor of their kings, and trusted to their military preparations, yet the Lord, the great Jehovah, the God of Israel, still reigned. God is here very elegantly represented as clothed with majesty itself, as kings are with their royal ornaments; and as girded with almighty strength, as warriors are with the sword: some render the verse thus, The Lord reigneth; he is robed with majesty: The Lord is robed; he is girded with strength, &c.

Psalms 93:1

1 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.
