Psalm 93

Good News Translation

God the King

93 The Lord is king.
    He is clothed with majesty and strength.
The earth is set firmly in place
    and cannot be moved.
²Your throne, O Lord, has been firm from the beginning,
    and you existed before time began.

³The ocean depths raise their voice, O Lord;
    they raise their voice and roar.
⁴The Lord rules supreme in heaven,
    greater than the roar of the ocean,
    more powerful than the waves of the sea.

⁵Your laws are eternal, Lord,
and your Temple is holy indeed,
forever and ever.

The Message

93 ^1-2God is King, robed and ruling,
God is robed and surging with strength.

And yes, the world is firm, immovable,
Your throne ever firm—you’re Eternal!

^3-4Sea storms are up, God,
Sea storms wild and roaring,
Sea storms with thunderous breakers.

    Stronger than wild sea storms,
    Mightier than sea-storm breakers,
    Mighty God rules from High Heaven.

⁵What you say goes—it always has.
“Beauty” and “Holy” mark your palace rule,
God, to the very end of time.
