Psalms 93:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 93:2

Thy throne is established of old
Or "prepared from eternity" F2; Christ was set up and anointed as King from everlasting; he had a kingdom appointed and prepared for him so early; and his throne, which is prepared in the heavens, is an established one; it is for ever and ever; his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom; of his government, and the increase of it, there is no end:

thou art from everlasting;
as a divine Person, as God, and the Son of God; or he could not have been anointed unto or invested with the kingly office so early; nor have had a glory with his Father before the world began: his eternal existence, as God, accounts for the establishment of his throne of old, without which it could not be.

Psalms 93:2 In-Context

1 The Lord is king. He is clothed with majesty and strength. The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.
2 Your throne, O Lord, has been firm from the beginning, and you existed before time began.
3 The ocean depths raise their voice, O Lord; they raise their voice and roar.
4 The Lord rules supreme in heaven, greater than the roar of the ocean, more powerful than the waves of the sea.
5 Your laws are eternal, Lord, and your Temple is holy indeed, forever and ever.
