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)

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]
