1 The Lord is King; he is clothed with glory; the Lord is clothed with strength; power is the cord of his robe; the world is fixed, so that it may not be moved.
2 The seat of your power has been from the past; you are eternal.
3 The rivers send up, O Lord, the rivers send up their voices; they send them up with a loud cry.
4 The Lord in heaven is stronger than the noise of great waters, yes, he is stronger than the great waves of the sea.
5 Your witness is most certain; it is right for your house to be holy, O Lord, for ever.

Commentary on Psalms 93 Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible
PSALM 93
Ps 93:1-5. This and the six following Psalms were applied by the Jews to the times of the Messiah. The theme is God's supremacy in creation and providence.
1. God is described as a King entering on His reign, and, for robes of royalty, investing Himself with the glorious attributes of His nature. The result of His thus reigning is the durability of the world.
2-4. His underived power exceeds the most sublime exhibitions of the most powerful objects in nature (Ps 89:9).
5. While His power inspires dread, His revealed will should secure our confidence (compare Ps 19:7; 25:10), and thus fear and love combined, producing all holy emotions, should distinguish the worship we offer in His house, both earthly and heavenly.
