Psalm 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.

Psalm 93:2 In-Context

1 The LORD is king! He is robed in majesty. Indeed, the LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.

2 Your throne, O LORD, has stood from time immemorial. You yourself are from the everlasting past.

3 The floods have risen up, O LORD . The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves.

4 But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore— the LORD above is mightier than these!

5 Your royal laws cannot be changed. Your reign, O LORD, is holy forever and ever.
