This is the first of the ‘royal’ psalms (93; 95−100) celebrating God’s kingship, the creator and ruler of our universe, whose eternal calm contrasts with the restless sea. He is so calm and silent that we might think he sleeps. But only the God-made-man could sleep. Even then, when the apostles cried to him, ‘He rebuked the wind and said to the sea: Peace! Be still! The wind ceased, and there was a great calm’ (Mk 4:39). ‘You are a king then?’ said Pilate. He is indeed, though his kingship was hidden. But now, he sits at the right hand. We are part of his Kingdom. Let us sing to our Lord, who is ascended and enthroned in heaven. The Lord of history and nature is far stronger than the most formidable historical conflicts.
