93 1 He praiseth the power of God in the creation of the world, and beateth down all people which lift them up against his majesty, 5 and provoked to consider his promises.

The Lord [a]reigneth, and is clothed with majesty: the Lord is clothed, and girded with power, the world also shall be established, that it cannot be moved.

Thy [b]throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

[c]The floods have lifted up, O Lord: the floods have lifted up their voice: the floods lift up their waves.

The waves of the sea are marvelous through the noise of many waters, yet the Lord on high is more mighty.

Thy [d]testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine House, O Lord, forever.
