1¡El Señor reina, revestido en majestad! Él usa sus mantos reales, con su poder, usado llevado cinturón. El mundo se mantiene unido firmemente, no puede ser destruido.
2Tu trono ha existido desde eras pasadas; tú eres eterno.
3Las inundaciones se han elevado, Señor; las inundaciones han levantado sus voces; las inundaciones han levantado olas destructoras.
4Pero mientras más violento es el océano, mientras más grandes son las olas del mar, más grande es el Señor que reina.
5Tus leyes son totalmente confiables. Tu casa, Señor, será santa para siempre.

Summary
A brief and vigorous hymn: the Lord reigns, clothed with majesty; even the mightiest waves of the sea cannot compare to God's strength, whose throne has stood firm from eternity.
Explanation
This is the first of a group of psalms (93, 95-99) known as the 'enthronement psalms,' which celebrate God's reign over all creation, possibly used in festivals commemorating divine sovereignty. In the imagination of the ancient Near East, the raging sea was a symbol of chaos and threat; by declaring that God is 'mightier' than the great waves, the psalm proclaims that no chaotic force in the world surpasses God's control. The application today is to find emotional stability by remembering that, however chaotic a situation may seem, God's rule remains firm.
