Psalm 93:5

Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, LORD, forever more.

3The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.
4Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty.
5Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, LORD, forever more.
