References for Psa 93:4 —  1   2   3 

Psalm Ps. 93. Psalms 29; 93;; 95–99 are hymns of praise for God’s kingly rule over creation. The idea of God as universal king is rooted in the creation account. It is Israel’s great privilege to be ruled by the God who is the universal Creator and Lord, who one day will rule all nations. Belief that God reigns is the ultimate solution to doubt and despair (see 89:38–51).

Ps. 93:1–2 The Lord reigns as king. Because his throne is established and secure, the world is established. It is a stable and reliable place to live.

Ps. 93:1 the world . . . shall never be moved. See 46:5; 125:1; note on 10:6. The expression probably means that the world’s ongoing order (and the moral principles that underlie that order) are faithful and sure, guaranteed by God’s own faithfulness.

Ps. 93:3–4 To an Israelite, the raging sea (also called floods and many waters) was the most vivid picture of uncontrollable chaos. The divine king is mightier than even that.

Ps. 93:5 God’s decrees are very trustworthy and holiness befits his house. The laws given to Israel are based on God’s own character, which the moral laws of the universe reflect.
