Psalm 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.
1 The Lord is King, * and hath put on | glo•rious ap- | parel; ||
the | Lord • hath put | on • his ap- | parel, ||
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
and girded him- | self with | strength. ||
2 He hath made the round world so | sure, • that it | cannot • be | moved. ||
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
3 Ever since the world began, hath thy | seat • been pre- | pared: ||
3 thou | art from | ever- | lasting. ||
4 The Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
4 The floods are risen, O Lord, the floods have 3 lift | up their | voice; ||
the | floods lift | up their | waves. ||
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O Lord, for ever.
5 The waves of the sea are | mighty, and • rage | horri•bly; ||
but yet the Lord, who | 3 dwelleth on | high, is | mightier. ||
6 Thy testimonies, O | Lord, are • very | sure: ||
holiness be- | 3 cometh thine | house for | ever. ||
About the Pointing
The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
