A Javanese proverb says, "Ajining diri soko lathi, ajining rogo soko busono," which means that a person's dignity is reflected in what he says and his authority is reflected in how he presents himself. In Javanese culture, clothing is not just a cloth to protect the body, but a symbol of honor and identity. This image helps us understand how Psalm 93 describes the LORD who is "clothed in splendor" and "girded with strength". In a world that is often characterized by chaos (social and spiritual), the psalmist invites us to look to God's "garments" of glory and power that affirm that the world is not left unchecked.

Psalm 93 is one of the enthronement psalms that affirms a profound theological truth: God is King, not just over Israel, but over all creation. Structurally, the psalm is simple, but loaded with meaning. Verse 1–2 affirms God as King and Creator clothed in splendor and power; verse 3–4 describes raging waters, symbolic of cosmic chaos in Ancient Near Eastern mythology. Yet even the mightiest waves bow in praise to the Creator. Verse 5 concludes by affirming the constancy of God's kingdom and the holiness of His dwelling. In the midst of uncertainty, the psalmist affirms one certainty, namely that God has been King from of old, His throne established forever.

Psalm 93 speaks to man's deep need for "inner stability" in the midst of an ever-changing world. When life's "flood tides" of stress, anxiety, or social chaos threaten, we look for something that is fixed, that does not shift. This psalm affirms that constancy does not come from self-control or human systems, but from the recognition that God remains enthroned. This message becomes a radical statement about human limitations, that the center of the universe is not the ego, but the eternal King. In the context of life today, the psalmist's message challenges our obsession with "control" and calls us back to our position as dependent and protected creatures under divine rule.

The psalm closes with the confession, "Your ordinances are firm; in your temple dwells holiness, O LORD, for all time." From this we learn that God's glory is not only a radiance of power, but also a peace-giving order. Today's world, agitated by ecological crises, information floods and social tensions, echoes the roar of raging waters. But the psalmist reminds us that even the rushing waters know to whom they are subject. Living in faith means learning to abide in that conviction. The belief that behind the noise of the world, there is a King who still dwells and arranges everything in love. Therefore, in the midst of uncertain changes, faith becomes an anchor that strengthens the heart, bringing peace, because God is still enthroned and in control of everything.
