Psalm 93

¹⁰Declare among the nations: “The Lord reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

¹²Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.

¹The Lord reigns; let the nations tremble! He is enthroned above the cherubim; let the earth quake!

⁶And I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.

¹⁹The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His kingdom rules over all.

⁶You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

⁶Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever, and justice is the scepter of Your kingdom.

²Before the mountains were born or You brought forth the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting You are God.

⁸“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty.

⁸Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

²²The Lord created me as His first course, before His works of old.

²³From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, before the earth began.

⁸To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of the First and the Last, who died and returned to life.

¹¹Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

¹For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Lilies.” Of David. Save me, O God, for the waters are up to my neck.

²I have sunk into the miry depths, where there is no footing; I have drifted into deep waters, where the flood engulfs me.

¹²Alas, the tumult of many peoples; they rage like the roaring seas and clamoring nations; they rumble like the crashing of mighty waters.

¹³The nations rage like the rush of many waters. He rebukes them, and they flee far away, driven before the wind like chaff on the hills, like tumbleweeds before a gale.

⁷Let the sea resound, and all that fills it, the world, and all who dwell in it.

⁸Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy

¹²You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

⁷Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn?

⁸Egypt rises like the Nile, and its waters churn like rivers, boasting, ‘I will rise and cover the earth; I will destroy the cities and their people.’

⁷You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

⁹You rule the raging sea; when its waves mount up, You still them.

¹¹and I declared: ‘You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop’?

³⁷Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

³⁸But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”

³The sea observed and fled; the Jordan turned back;

⁴the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs.

²²Do you not fear Me?” declares the Lord. “Do you not tremble before Me, the One who set the sand as the boundary for the sea, an enduring barrier it cannot cross? The waves surge, but they cannot prevail. They roar but cannot cross it.

⁷The Law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is trustworthy, making wise the simple.

⁸The precepts of the Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

²Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.

¹¹¹Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart.

¹²⁹Wonderful are Your testimonies; therefore I obey them.

²“Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the Lord your God, am holy.

¹⁶Do you not know that you yourselves are God’s temple, and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?

¹⁷If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
