Context of Psalms 93:4
2You, Lord, have always ruled as King, since before the beginning of time. 3The floods of water have risen up, Lord. They have risen with a loud noise. Their waves beat against the land. But the Lord rules as King high above everything! He rules over the powerful waves of the sea, with all their great noise! 5Lord, your rules remain strong and true. Your house will always be holy, because you are holy.
