Mizmor 93

Anticipation of Majesty

This is the fourth in the series of 11 Mizmorim that were originally composed by Moshe Rabbeinu and subsequently incorporated into Tehilim by David. It was designed to be sung in the Bais HaMikdash as the Song of the Day for the sixth day of the week.

Through the power of nevuah (prophecy) this brief but momentous Mizmor looks ahead to anticipate the time of the final Geulah (Redemption) when the authority of HaShem as King of the universe will have been finally recognized by all of mankind.

The singer draws a word picture of our great joy in that future era. He emphasizes that despite the events of the Geulah, the power of HaShem has been unchanged since before the dawn of time. Nevertheless, many challenges had to be overcome before HaShem's majesty was finally recognized and acknowledged. The singer visualizes the challenging forces as destructive floods that threatened to wash away civilization. In the end HaShem demonstrated His supremacy and reestablished His presence in the Bais HaMikdash among His people.
