Psalm 93
1. The majesty, stability, power, and holiness of Christ's kingdom.














(4) Sea.--Whether this description of a raging sea is to be taken literally, or as emblematic of war and its horrors, is doubtful.

Verse 4. - The Lord on high (comp. Psalm 92:8) is mightier than the noise of many waters; literally, than the voices of many waters (comp. ver. 3). As the waters represent angry nations, the poet speaks not only of their "noise," but of their "voices." Yea, than the mighty waves of the sea; or, "the glorious breakers of ocean" (so Kay; and comp. Exodus 15:10).
