Psalms 93

1 The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. In the time before the Sabbath, when the earth was founded. The Lord has reigned. He has been clothed with beauty. The Lord has been clothed with strength, and he has girded himself. Yet he has also confirmed the world, which will not be moved.

The Lord has taken his seat on the throne, clothed with majesty, armed with might. Now the world stands firm, to be shaken no more,

2 My throne is prepared from of old. You are from everlasting.

firm stands your throne from all eternity. You are from everlasting.

3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods have lifted up their waves,

The floods, O Lord, have lifted, the floods have lifted their voice, the floods lift up their roar.

4 before the noise of many waters. Wondrous are the surges of the sea; wondrous is the Lord on high.

But more grand than the great roaring waters, more grand than the ocean waves, grand on the height stands the Lord.

5 Your testimonies have been made exceedingly trustworthy. Sanctity befits your house, O Lord, with length of days.

What you have ordained is most sure; most sure shall your house stand inviolate, O Lord, for ever and ever.
