In his sermon on Psalms 93–95, Stephen Davey explains how these three psalms call believers to confidence in God’s sovereignty, comfort in His attentiveness, and obedience to His warnings. Psalm 93, likely written by a Levite returning from Babylonian exile, opens Book Four by declaring, “The LORD reigns,” reminding worshipers that God’s eternal throne stands unmoved by the chaos of nations or the obstacles facing His people. Though life feels like a rising flood, the psalmist insists that God’s power is mightier than the roaring waters, giving believers courage in real time. Psalm 94 then asks whether God truly sees and understands the injustices of a wicked world, and the psalmist answers with creation logic: if God designed the human ear, He can certainly hear; if He formed the eye, He absolutely sees. Davey highlights how this leads to comfort—“When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul”—because the Creator who engineered human complexity also attends to His children’s burdens. Psalm 95 calls God’s people to joyful worship and humble responsiveness, celebrating the Lord as Creator, King, and Shepherd while warning both unbelievers and believers not to harden their hearts as Israel once did. Davey concludes that these psalms anchor believers in the truth that they are created, known, guided, and cared for by a sovereign God—One whose voice is to be trusted today, whose power stabilizes every storm, and whose shepherding hand never lets go of His flock.
