Context of Psalms 93:3
1The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved. 2Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity. The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves. 4Above the roar of many waters— the mighty breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is majestic. 5Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, for all the days to come.
