93.1 :Yea, the world is established, that it cannot be moved.
 * Thy throne is established of old;
 * Thou art from everlasting.


 * The floods have lifted up, O ,
 * The floods have lifted up their voice;
 * The floods lift up their roaring.
 * Above the voices of many waters,
 * The mighty breakers of the sea,
 * The on high is mighty.


 * Thy testimonies are very sure,
 * Holiness becometh Thy house,
 * O, for evermore.


 * O, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,
 * Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
 * Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth;
 * Render to the proud their recompense.


 * , how long shall the wicked,
 * How long shall the wicked exult?
 * They gush out, they speak arrogancy;
 * All the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
 * They crush Thy people, O ,
 * And afflict Thy heritage.
 * They slay the widow and the stranger,
 * And murder the fatherless.
 * And they say: 'The will not see,
 * Neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'


 * Consider, ye brutish among the people;
 * And ye fools, when will ye understand?
 * He that planted the ear, shall He not hear?
 * He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
 * He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct?
 * Even He that teacheth man knowledge?
 * The knoweth the thoughts of man,
 * That they are vanity.


 * Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O ,
 * And teachest out of Thy law;
 * That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil,
 * Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
 * For the will not cast off His people,
 * Neither will He forsake His inheritance.
 * For right shall return unto justice,
 * And all the upright in heart shall follow it.


 * Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
 * Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
 * Unless the had been my help,
 * My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
 * If I say: 'My foot slippeth',
 * Thy mercy, O, holdeth me up.
 * When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.


 * Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee,
 * Which frameth mischief by statute?
 * They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
 * And condemn innocent blood.
 * But the hath been my high tower,
 * And my God the rock of my refuge.
