Psalm 93 (Version 2)

10.10.10.10.10.10 Psalm 93 Isaac Watts

Psalm Text

The Lord of glory reigns; he reigns on high;

His robes of state are strength and majesty:

This wide creation rose at his command,

Built by his word, and 'stablish'd by his hand:

Long stood his throne ere he began creation,

And his own Godhead is the firm foundation.

God is th' eternal King: thy foes in vain

Raise their rebellions to confound thy reign:

In vain the storms, in vain the floods arise,

And roar and toss their waves against the skies;

Foaming at heaven, they rage with wild commotion,

But heaven's high arches scorn the swelling ocean.

Ye tempests, rage no more; ye floods, be still;

And the mad world submissive to his will:

Built on his truth, his church must ever stand;

Firm are his promises, and strong his hand:

See his own sons, when they appear before him,

Bow at his footstool, and with fear adore him.
