Psalm 93

God’s Eternal Reign

The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed, enveloped in strength.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be shaken.(A)
Your throne has been established
from the beginning;[a]
you are from eternity.(B)
The floods have lifted up, Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their pounding waves.(C)
Greater than the roar of a huge torrent—
the mighty breakers of the sea—
the Lord on high is majestic.(D)

Lord, your testimonies are completely reliable;(E)
holiness adorns your house
for all the days to come.(F)
