Psalm 93 - The LORD Reigns Above the Floods

Five verses declaring God's kingship stronger than the roar of the sea.

Psalms 93: The LORD Reigneth

At only five verses, Psalm 93 opens a run of kingship psalms in the Psalms overview, declaring 'the LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty' while picturing the lifted floods and waves as no match for His strength.


耶和華 作王!他以威嚴 為衣穿上;耶和華 以能力 為衣,以能力束腰,世界 就 堅定,不得 動搖。

你的寶座 從太初 立定;你 從亙古就有。

耶和華啊,大水 揚起,大水 發 聲,波浪 澎湃。

耶和華 在高處 大有能力,勝過 諸水 的響聲,洋海 的大 浪。

耶和華啊,你的法度 最 的確;你的殿 永 稱為聖,是合宜的。

Its declaration that 'the LORD reigneth' is repeated almost word for word in <a href="/bible/chiun/psalms/chapter-96/10">Psalms 96:10</a>, part of the same cluster of enthronement psalms. It closes with 'holiness becometh thine house,' leading into the longer plea for justice in <a href="/bible/chiun/psalms/chapter-94">Psalms 94</a>.
