Psalms 93
The majesty, stability, power, and holiness, of Christ's kingdom.
1. The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3. The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4. The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

Metrical version
Psalm 93
C.M. Irish
The LORD doth reign, and clothed is he with majesty most bright; His works do show him clothed to be, and girt about with might. The world is also stablished, that it cannot depart. Thy throne is fixed of old, and thou from everlasting art. The floods, O LORD, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice; The floods have lifted up their waves, and made a mighty noise. But yet the LORD, that is on high, is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, or great sea-billows are. Thy testimonies every one in faithfulness excel; And holiness for ever, LORD, thine house becometh well.
This psalm is a triumphant celebration of the government of Jehovah, and of Jesus our Redeemer, in (1.) The awfulness, strength, stability, and duration thereof, ver. 1-2. (2.) In his triumphant victories over all opposition, ver. 3-4. (3.) In the faithfulness and certainty of his words, and the holiness of his court, ver. 5.
While I sing, let my soul rejoice in the highness of my God, and in the glories of my Redeemer.
