Psalms 93 DBY

Summary: A brief enthronement psalm proclaiming God's kingship in cosmic, almost mythic terms: "The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty... the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved" (v. 1). Its central image is the chaotic power of the sea challenged and overmatched by God's greater strength: "The floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters" (v. 3-4). It closes affirming that God's testimonies are "very sure" and that holiness befits his house "for ever" (v. 5).

1Jehovah reigneth, he hath clothed himself with majesty: Jehovah hath clothed himself, he hath girded himself with strength; yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved.

2Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity.

3The floods lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods lifted up their voice; the floods lifted up their roaring waves.

4Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea.

5Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.
