Psalms 93:4
2 Your throne was established long ago; You are from all eternity.
3 The floodwaters have risen, O LORD; the rivers have raised their voice; the seas lift up their pounding waves.
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.
