Psalm 93  " The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength." 

"clothed" - to wrap around or put on - God puts on "majesty" - Majesty is an ornament of excellence, glory, magnificence, triumph, highness.   Psalm 104:1b-2 says, " O Lord my God, Thou art very great; Thou art clothed with spender and majesty; Covering Thyself with light as with a cloak..." 

His belt is "strength".- power, security, might, force.. He prevails!
God has established His throne "from of old; Thou art from everlasting".  v2
"The Lord on high is mighty." v4b
"Thy testimonies are fully confirmed." v5a  - all that He says is found true and certain.
" Holiness befits Thy house, O Lord forevermore." (v5b)

The majesty, the excellence of our God, is His covering of Light.  He is eternally glorious in His strength, His might, His Truth, and His holiness.  When we acknowledge and meditate on this.. our hearts are filled with awe and wonder. Here is where we come to worship and bow down, falling before His throne.  We sing praises to Him, the Most High.  We declare His lovingkindness and His faithfulness. We remember His works and rejoice with thanksgiving for what He has done for us.

Father, open our eyes to see Your majesty and splendor.  Someday we will experience this is a way we can't begin to imagine, but until then, help us to know You as the psalmist did. You are great and mighty, kind and faithful!  We give praise and thanks to You.  Reign forevermore, O Lord!  Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. amen.
