Psalm 93:1-5

God rules as King

93:1Psalm 93 is the first of the Royal Psalms. Psalms 93 and 95–99 speak about God as the great King.

1 The Lord rules as King!

He wears royal power as his clothes.

His strength is like a belt around his body.

So the world is safe and strong.

Nothing can shake it from its place.

2 You, Lord, have always ruled as King,

since before the beginning of time.

3 The floods of water have risen up, Lord.

They have risen with a loud noise.

Their waves beat against the land.

93:3The floods and the waves may be a picture of God's enemies.

4 But 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.
