Psalm 93:1-5 rA

... in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.  Amen.  Through the prayers of our holy Fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us and save us.  Amen.  Glory to You, our God, Glory to You.

O Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, You are everywhere and fill all things, Treasury of blessings, and Giver of life: come and abide in us, and cleanse us from every impurity, and save our souls, O Good One.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (three times).

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it is now, was in the beginning, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen.

Psalm 93:1-5[1]

The Lord reigns.  He is clothed with majesty.  The Lord is clothed with strength.  He has girded Himself.  The world also is established, so that it cannot be moved.  Your throne [is] established of old.  You [are] from everlasting.

The floods have lifted up, Lord.  The floods have lifted up their voice.  The floods lift up their waves.  The Lord on high [is] mightier than the noise of many waters, [yes], [than] the mighty waves of the sea.[2]

Your testimonies are very sure.  Holiness becomes Your house, Lord, forever. [3]

[1] In times of trouble and doubt, the Psalmists remind themselves of God's great historic acts, and are reassured of His future promised deliverance.  Here the Psalmist remembers Noah's Flood and knows that the heavenly temple and its heavenly law are eternal, even though the earthly temple perishes.

[2] Jesus demonstrates that He is the fulfillment of the prophecy of this Psalm when He stills the sea and rescues Peter from drowning.  The great lesson of this Psalm, learned by maintaining the heart in the heavenly temple, is that Yahweh is mightier than the earth destroying flood of Noah’s generation.
