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)
