Psalm 93

The Lord Rules the World

The Lord reigns. He is clothed in majesty.
The Lord is clothed—he wears strength like a belt.
Yes, the world stands firm. It will not be moved.
Your throne was established long ago.
You are from eternity.
The waves[a] have lifted up, O Lord,
the waves have lifted up their voice.
The waves roar loudly.
Mightier than the thundering of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty.
Your testimonies stand very firm.
Holiness beautifies your house for endless days, O Lord.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 93:3 The Hebrew word naharot usually refers to rivers but here seems to refer to the waves and currents of the sea.

Yahweh Is King Over All the Earth

93 Yahweh is king; he clothes himself with majesty.
Yahweh clothes himself; he girds himself with might.
Yes, the world is established so that it will not be moved.
Your throne is established from of old;
you are from everlasting.
The rivers have lifted up, O Yahweh;
the rivers have lifted up their rumbling;[a]
the rivers have lifted up their pounding.
Mightier than the rumblings of many waters,
mightier than the mighty breakers of the sea,
Yahweh on high is mighty.
Your testimonies are fully reliable.
Holiness is fitting for your house,[b]
O Yahweh, forever.[c]
