Psalm 93

The Majesty of God’s Rule

The Lord is king; he is robed in majesty;
    the Lord is robed; he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;(A)
    your throne is established from of old;
    you are from everlasting.(B)

The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
    the floods have lifted up their voice;
    the floods lift up their roaring.
More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters,
    more majestic than the waves[a] of the sea,
    majestic on high is the Lord!(C)

Your decrees are very sure;
    holiness befits your house,
    O Lord, forevermore.(D)

  1. 93.4 Cn: Heb majestic are the waves

93 Adonai is king, robed in majesty;
Adonai is robed, girded with strength;
The world is well established;
it cannot be moved.
Your throne was established long ago;
you have existed forever.
Adonai, the deep is raising up,
the deep is raising up its voice,
the deep is raising its crashing waves.
More than the sound of rushing waters
or the mighty breakers of the sea,
Adonai on high is mighty.
Your instructions are very sure;
holiness befits your house,
Adonai, for all time to come.
