Brenton Brenton's English Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 For the day before the Sabbath, when the land was [first] inhabited, the praise of a Song by David. The Lord reigns; he has clothed himself with honour: the Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength; for he has established the world, which shall not be moved.
93:1 Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved.
2 Thy throne is prepared of old: thou art from everlasting.
93:2 Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting.
3 The rivers have lifted up, O Lord, the rivers have lifted up their voices,
93:3 The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves.
4 at the voices of many waters: the billows of the sea are wonderful: the Lord is wonderful in high places.
93:4 Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty.
5 Thy testimonies are made very sure: holiness becomes thine house, O Lord, for ever.
93:5 Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, Yahweh, forever more.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 93.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm XCII)

    We are not Christians, except on account of a future life: let no one hope for present blessings, let no one promise himself the happiness of the world, because he is a Christian: but let him use the happiness he hath, as he may, in what manner he may, when he may, as far as he may.
