Psalms 93:2

2 Your throne ever firm - you're Eternal!

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 God is King, robed and ruling, God is robed and surging with strength. And yes, the world is firm, immovable,
2 Your throne ever firm - you're Eternal!
3 Sea storms are up, God, Sea storms wild and roaring, Sea storms with thunderous breakers.
4 Stronger than wild sea storms, Mightier than sea-storm breakers, Mighty God rules from High Heaven.
5 What you say goes - it always has. "Beauty" and "Holy" mark your palace rule, God, to the very end of time.
