Psalms 93:3
1 The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; the LORD has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity.
The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.
4 Above the roar of many waters— the mighty breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is majestic.
5 Your testimonies are fully confirmed; holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, for all the days to come.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
