Chapter Text

93:1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

93:2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

93:4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

93:5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "world", "lord", "reigneth", "clothed", "majesty", "strength", and "wherewith". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "world" and "lord", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The local KJV text gives this verse as the immediate unit, so "world" and "lord" carries the first interpretive weight. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "world" and "lord" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
