Context of Psalms 93:3
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. 2Thy throne is established of old; thou art from eternity. The floods lifted up, O Jehovah, the floods lifted up their voice; the floods lifted up their roaring waves. 4Jehovah on high is mightier than the voices of many waters, than the mighty breakers of the sea. 5Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thy house, O Jehovah, for ever.
