Psalms 93

Overview

Psalm 93 is a brief, majestic enthronement hymn proclaiming "The LORD reigns." Robed in majesty and girded with strength, He has established a world that cannot be moved, and His throne stands from everlasting. The psalm pictures the roaring floods lifting their voice, only to declare that the LORD on high is mightier than the thunder of many waters, and it ends affirming the trustworthiness of His decrees and the holiness that befits His house forever.

1The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

2Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

3The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

4The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

5Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
