Read Psalms Chapter 93 Summary

The LORD reigns; He is clothed with majesty and strength. The world is established; it cannot be moved. Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.

Your testimonies are very sure; holiness adorns Your house forever.

'The apple of my eye' comes from the Bible

The everyday phrase 'the apple of my eye', meaning someone deeply cherished, comes straight from Scripture: 'Keep me as the apple of your eye' (Psalm 17:8). Many common English sayings, from 'a drop in the bucket' to 'the writing on the wall,' were born in the Bible.

Nobody knows what 'Selah' means

The little word 'Selah' appears about 74 times in the Psalms, and its exact meaning has been lost. It may signal a musical pause, a swelling of the instruments, or a moment to stop and reflect. After thousands of years, it remains one of the Bible's small unsolved mysteries.
