The Psalm is focused almost entirely on the majesty of the LORD, except for the last verse which speaks, implicitly, of our obligation to him -- to obey his law and be holy in his presence. The theme of the Psalm is permanence -- of the LORD, of his works, and of his law.
The LORD is clothed in majesty and in strength. He established the world and made it immovable. His throne is from of old; and he is everlasting (1-2). The floods lift up their voice; but the LORD is mightier than the noise of many waters, even the mighty waves of the sea (3-4). The testimonies of the LORD are permanent. Holiness is suitable for the LORD's house [i.e., for those associated with it] forever (5).
THE PSALTER:
BOOK FOUR OF FIVE:
Psalms 90-106.
Psalm 93
1 The LORD reigneth,
he is clothed with majesty;
the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself:
the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old:
thou art from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their waves.
4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters,
yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure:
holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
* NOTE: On Opening and Closing Comments in the Psalms.
[Some commentators take the Psalm in Habakkuk 3 to be a standard model for the Psalms.
Habakkuk's Psalm begins with the name of the composer ( Habakkuk) and a musical notation (" upon Shigionoth").
It closes with a dedication or a " send to" notice (" To the chief singer on my stringed instruments").
I have arranged similar material, where it is found in the Psalter, in accord with the model in Habakkuk.]
