Gods eternal holiness

Ps 93 1 The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved.2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.3 The seas have lifted up, O LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea-- the LORD on high is mighty.5 Your statutes stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days, O LORD. 

The Psalmist is extolling the commander of Israels army. This action to subdue all the nations is done though a succession of the Lord "rising up" as the metaphor for making war and gaining victory.  This rising up of the Lord is a picture of His creative power over all things. The voice of the commander is heard in the metaphor of the sound of the seas when the waves move and crash against the shore. What is the result of the Lords action in subduing all enemies? He brings His people back as He walks into through the gates of Jerusalem with His people following the train of His garment. The garment of majesty. 

Here the Psalmist is viewing the ocean and is rejoicing as he watches the order of creation reflect the actions of God in making Israel a secure nation. This relationship to the creator who works among the nations to overrule all destructive actions comes into focus as the Psalmist uses the curses to overcome the human struggle and to unify the earth with heaven. God is holy in the sense that He is separated from all other beings. He sits on the throne behind the door of heaven. His separate purposes are accomplished by His work alone. The Psalmist is looking at the time line of events that prove that God cannot be overcome. But the Psalmist is saying that Gods attributes and actions are not confined to the time sequence but they are from eternity past. This is his whole argument that is God is holy because He has order all things from eternity past to establish His majestic rule over the earth. His power and majesty are from eternity past. That makes all of His attributes eternal. 

When we rise up in our petitions to pray these Psalms we experience the power behind the physical creation. Our longings are transformed so that we want the eternal power, justice and majesty of God to rule from one end of the earth to another. We begin to persevere in this mysterious power. In this way we are exalting Gods eternal holiness.
