Context of Psalms 93:3

1The Lord is king! He is robed in majesty. Indeed, the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. 2Your throne, O Lord, has stood from time immemorial. You yourself are from the everlasting past. The floods have risen up, O Lord. The floods have roared like thunder; the floods have lifted their pounding waves. 4But mightier than the violent raging of the seas, mightier than the breakers on the shore— the Lord above is mightier than these! 5Your royal laws cannot be changed. Your reign, O Lord, is holy forever and ever.
