About this chapterA short hymn declaring that the Lord reigns, robed in majesty and armed with strength. His throne has stood since long ago, and the world is firmly set and cannot be moved. The floods lift up their voice, roaring and pounding, but the Lord on high is mightier than the thunder of many waters and the breakers of the sea. His decrees are completely trustworthy, and holiness suits his house for all time. Ancient people often saw the sea as a symbol of chaos, so the psalm says that nothing threatens God's rule.

Psalms 93

Berean Standard Bible5 verses · 1 min read

1The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved. 2Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity. 3The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves. 4Above the roar of many waters— the mighty breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is majestic. 5Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, for all the days to come.
