¹The 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.

²Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.

³The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

⁴The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

⁵Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

Psalms 93:1–5

Psalms 93:1

LORD

Plain meaning

The personal divine name represented by LORD, GOD, or JEHOVAH.

KJV word as shown: LORD
Original Hebrew term: יהוה
Transliteration: YHWH

Hebrew definition

The personal divine name written with four Hebrew consonants. The KJV commonly represents it with LORD, or GOD in certain combinations. It is distinct from an ordinary title meaning master. The consonantal transliteration YHWH avoids presenting a debated historical pronunciation as certain.

Meaning in this verse

In “The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty”, “LORD” expresses the personal divine name represented by LORD, GOD, or JEHOVAH. The full prayer or praise identifies the use of images concerning creation, kingship, and human life. Read the term with that poetic statement.
