Translation

For he has established the world:/ which shall not be moved./ Your throne is prepared: you are everlasting from that time./ Lord the floods have lifted up:/ the floods have lifted up their voice./ The floods have lifted up their waves:/ with the voice of many waters./ The surges of the sea are marvellous:/ the lord on high is marvellous./ Your agreements are become exceedingly credible:/ holiness is proper for your house lord/ for the duration of days./


Psalm 93
Blessed is the man whom you shall instruct, lord

The lord is GOD OF REVENGE: the god/ of revenge has acted freely./ You who judge the earth be uplifted:/ repay retrib/ution to the proud/ how long shall sinners
