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.
