Tyndale Open Study NotesPsalms 93

These psalms challenge the doubts created by the exile (see Psalm 89) and answer the questions asked in Psalm 90:11, 13. The Lord has established a kingdom (Psalm 93) that is characterized by:

• punishment of the wicked (Psalm 94),

• respectful obedience among his people (Psalm 95),

• justice for the poor (Psalm 96),

• celebration in Zion (Psalm 97),

• salvation for Israel (Psalm 98),

• holiness (Psalm 99), and

• praise (Psalm 100).

The everlasting Lord gloriously establishes his kingship (see Psalms 47, 99–100).

robed in majesty: The Lord stands victorious both before and after battle (see Psalm 45:3).

God’s victory over natural chaos gives the psalmist confidence that the Lord will also defeat his present enemies (compare Jeremiah 46:8; 47:2).

• Through his stable rule and royal laws, the Lord orders the world.

• Your house: The house from which God reigns might be the Lord’s heavenly palace or the earthly temple.
