Thy throne is established of old,.... Or "prepared from eternity" (b); Christ was set up and anointed as King from everlasting; he had a kingdom appointed and prepared for him so early; and his
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 93:2
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. The Lord reigneth - i:e., the Lord become king - (Psalms 96:10; Psalms 97:1; Psalms 99:1.) The formula proclaimed at the accession of
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 93:2
And this kingdom of thine is no new or upstart kingdom, as it may seem to the ignorant world, but the most ancient of all kingdoms, being from everlasting to everlasting, although it was not always equally manifested in the world.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 93:2
Psalms 93:2 Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from everlasting.Ver. 2. Thy throne is established of old] Christ shall reign, utcunque, fremant scelerati, et omnia quantum in se est conturbent, rage the wicked never so, for he is Jehovah, Psalms 93:1, the Eternal: here, - Firma aeternus qui concidet arce.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 93:2
Verse 2. Thy throne is established of old] There never was a time in which God did not reign, in which he was not a supreme and absolute Monarch; for he is from everlasting. There never was a time in which he was not; there never can be a period in which he shall cease to exist.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 93:2
2. Though Jehovah has thus proclaimed His kingdom afresh, it is no novel thing. His sovereignty and His Being are eternal: they know neither beginning nor end (Psalms 90:2; Psalms 92:8). The contrast between Jehovah’s ever firmly established throne and the tottering order of the world which needs His intervention to reestablish it is in favour of the Massoretic text of Psa 93:1.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 93:2
Thy throne is established of old - Whatever might occur, the throne of God was firm. That could not be moved. It had been set up from all eternity.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 93:2
2. Thy throne is established of old—Literally, Thy throne is established from then, or, from that time; that is, from the time that thou hast been— from eternity.
