Context of Psalms 93:3

1The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed, enveloped in strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken. 2Your throne has been established from the beginning; you are from eternity. The floods have lifted up, Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their pounding waves. 4Greater than the roar of a huge torrent — the mighty breakers of the sea — the Lord on high is majestic. 5Lord, your testimonies are completely reliable; holiness adorns your house for all the days to come.
