Psalms 93

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.

1The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.

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

2Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.

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

3How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?

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

4Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?

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

5Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
