Psalm 93:2
Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.
1The LORD reigns! He is clothed with majesty! The LORD is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved.
2Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.
3The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.
4Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty.

Psalm 45:6Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom.Both passages speak of God's throne across time: Psalm 93 looks back to long ago, while Psalm 45 declares its enduring reign.
Isaiah 57:15For the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, says: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also who is of a contrite and humble …God's being from everlasting and his inhabiting eternity share the same truth: his existence exceeds the span of human life.
Psalm 90:2Before the mountains were born, before you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.Both address God as everlasting, with Psalm 90 making explicit that he existed before the earth and mountains.
Hebrews 13:8Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.Both look beyond the present moment: Psalm 93 declares God's everlasting existence, while Hebrews declares Jesus Christ's enduring sameness.
Revelation 1:8“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”Both describe God's existence beyond the present, using everlasting in the psalm and past, present, and coming in Revelation.
Proverbs 8:22–23“The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.Both look back before present events, though Proverbs speaks of wisdom at the beginning of God's work rather than his throne.
Isaiah 43:13Yes, since the day was, I am he. There is no one who can deliver out of my hand. I will work, and who can hinder it?”Both join God's existence from ancient time with his authority, expressed through an established throne and a hand none can escape.
Habakkuk 1:12Aren’t you from everlasting, LORD my God, my Holy One? We will not die. LORD, you have appointed them for judgment. You, Rock, have established him to punish.Both address the LORD as from everlasting, with Habakkuk carrying that confession into a question about judgment.
Revelation 2:8“To the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write: “The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life says these things:Everlasting existence in Psalm 93 shares a thread with the speaker's title in Revelation: the first and the last.
Revelation 1:17–18When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last,Both use language beyond an ordinary lifespan: God is from everlasting, and Revelation's speaker identifies himself as the first and the last.
Psalm 68:33to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty voice.Both reach into ancient time, Psalm 93 describing God's established throne and Psalm 68 describing the heavens over which he rides.
Revelation 1:11saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven assemblies: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”The supplied Revelation verse commands writing to seven assemblies; it shares no explicit statement about God's throne or everlasting existence.
