Psalms 93

Who is this King of glory, the Lord of Hosts he is the King of glory. He has internal glory (Psalm 93:1). The Lord reigns, he is clothed with majesty.

He has a rod of Iron to rule the Nations, and a golden Scepter to guide the Church. In the World he rules by his Providences, in the Church by his Testimonies (Psalm 93, per totum). In the World the attribute manifested is power, in the Church, grace.

3 The good land was a type of the heavenly rest (Hebrews 4:1), and (Hebrews 3:19) some entered not in through unbelief: why, what unbelief? The story shows us (Psalm 93:7; Numbers 14:9; Numbers 13:28) they doubted of the power of God, and believed the report of the unbelieving s…

Then he adorns this miracle, in saying, that at his voice the roaring and boiling waves were appeased. Let us know then that there are no floods so violent, but the Lord can still and assuage them, for the deliverance of his Church (Psalm 93:3-4). For it is he that calms the sea…

The Lord then pronounces, that though these great and huge mountains should remove, or that heaven and earth should meet (Psalm 46:2), yet his covenant shall stand immovable, and his mercy shall be perpetual towards his Church. And to this purpose it is said in (Psalm 93:1), tha…

Waters will quench fire, but nothing will quench this love. By waters in Scripture, often (as Psalm 42:7 and Psalm 93:4 and frequently) are understood afflictions, crosses, and even spiritual desertions — "all your waves and billows have gone over me" (Psalm 42:7), (Psalm 109:1-…

The more quiet and sedate we are, the more like we are to that God, who though he is closely concerned in all the affairs of this lower world, is yet far from being moved by its most violent convulsions and revolutions; but as he was from eternity, so he is and will be to eterni…

Seas and great waters do in the Scripture represent people, and nations (Revelation 17:15), the waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are people, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues; as waters, they are unstable, fierce, restless, tumultuous, and when God mingles his…

Psalm 45:13: The king's daughter is glorious within: is found out by faith, love, patience, sobriety, heavenly-mindedness, humility, purity, and the like; rather than by a splendid appearance. And holiness becomes God's house (Psalm 93:5), rather than gold and silver, and costly…

Those doxologies which the Scripture uses are but acknowledgments of this attribute: "Blessed be the Lord for ever and ever" (Nehemiah 9:5); "To whom be glory, and honor, and dominion, for ever and ever" (Galatians 1:5); and in many other places. Here we may refer all those plac…

Fourthly, seek after knowledge as for hidden treasure (verse 4-5), make account you do not seek for trifles when you seek for knowledge, but look at the knowledge of God and his grace as precious things, and reverence the Ordinances. It is irreverence, especially for young men,…
