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)

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.
