PSALM 93
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1The Lord doth reign, and cloth'd is he
with majesty most bright;
His works do shew him cloth'd to be,
and girt about with might.
The world is also stablished,
that it cannot depart.
2Thy throne is fix'd of old, and thou
from everlasting art.
3The floods,
O Lord, have lifted up,
they lifted up their voice;
The floods have lifted up their waves,
and made a mighty noise.
4But yet the Lord, that is on high,
is more of might by far
Than noise of many waters is,
or great sea-billows are.
5Thy testimonies ev'ry one
in faithfulness excel;
And holiness for ever, Lord,
thine house becometh well.

Psalm 93
The Lord is King! #93:1 Psalm 93 is the first of the Royal Psalms. Psalms 93 and 95—99 speak about God as the great King of all things.
1The Lord rules as King!
He wears royal power as his clothes.
His strength is like a belt round his body. #93:1 The Lord wears his authority and his power as clothes. Everyone can see them. Nobody can take this power and authority away from God. He has strength to win against his enemies. That is like the belt that he wears.
So the world is safe and strong.
Nothing can shake it from its place.
2You, Lord, have always ruled as King,
since before the beginning of time.
3The floods of water have risen up, Lord.
They have risen with a loud noise.
Their waves beat against the land. #93:3 The floods and waves may be a picture of God's enemies. Or they may describe what God did when he made the world. See Genesis 1:6-10.
4But the Lord rules as King
high above everything!
He rules over the powerful waves of the sea,
with all their great noise!
5 Lord, your rules remain strong and true.
Your house will always be holy,
because you are holy.
