Psalm 93

Psalm 93

Psalm 93 praise the LORD who reigns over all creation, highlighting his power over the flood waters and the seas. When Jesus calms the sea (Matthew 8:23–27, Mark 4:35–41, Luke 8:22–25) his disciples are afraid. For Jesus does what only the LORD God of Psalm 93 can do.

To sing this psalm we set lyrics from Sing Psalms (©2003 Free Church of Scotland) to the melody "Coronation" ("All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name) by Oliver Holden (1793).

This recording features Willy Shelton, Andrea Sandefur, and Kimberly Hopkins on vocals, Joel Stamoolis on vocals and guitar, Heidi Friese on piano, Dexter Tucker on alto saxophone, Herb Dunham and David Tollerud on trumpet, Brian Beaudry on bass guitar, and Jeremy Bloomstrom on drums.
