Summary
Psalm 93: The Throne Above the Waves Five verses. That is all. And yet in those five verses the psalmist manages to say something so immense that entire libraries of theology have not exhausted it. "The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with majesty." Not merely that God exists, or that God is powerful, but that God reigns — actively, presently, clothed in strength as a king is clothed in robes. And against this sovereignty the psalmist sets the most terrifying image the ancient world knew: the floods. The waters lift up their voice, the waves crash and roar, chaos threatens to swallow the ordered world whole. But here is the pivot, delivered with the calm of absolute certainty: "The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea." Mightier not by a slim margin but by a difference so vast that the comparison is almost absurd — like comparing a candle flame to the sun. And the psalm ends not with power but with beauty: "Holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever." The throne room of the Almighty is not merely strong. It is fitting, right, lovely.
