Daily Bible Reading “The LORD is Mighty” (Psalm 93:1-5)

Posted on December 8, 2025 by Deborah H. Bateman

The LORD is Mighty

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 93:1-5. The Psalmist starts this Psalm proclaiming that the LORD reigns and is clothed in majesty and strength. God established both the world and His throne. He is everlasting. He is the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end.

The Psalmist says the floods have come and the waves are high, but the LORD is stronger than the noise of the mighty waves of the sea. Have you ever been on the beach when there was a storm coming and the waves are loud, they almost seem angry, and the thunder is boisterous? The LORD made these – He is mightier than they.

God’s testimonies are sure. We can trust Him and count on Him to keep His word. He is Holy, faithful and true. His name will endure forever. I love this verse from Revelation 14:2, “And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps.”

The Scripture reminds me of the sound of the waves at the beach. I love listening to the waves crashing as the surf comes in. I think about this Scripture when I hear the waves and think of God’s voice as being like the swishing sound of the waves. I don’t know about you, but that is a soothing sound to me. Have you ever considered God’s voice being like the sound of the waves?

The next time you are at the beach, close your eyes and listen to the sound of the crashing waves and feel God’s presence with you as you listen for His voice. You don’t have to wait until you go to the beach to do this – you can do it right now. Close your eyes and take time to be still and listen for His voice.

Many times I think the reason we don’t hear from God is because we don’t take time to be quiet and listen. In the hustle and bustle of life we often turn the television or radio on as soon as we get up in the morning and have some type of noise going all day long. Try spending some time each day in quiet meditation, listening to hear the voice of God speaking to you.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 93:1-5

1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
4 The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
5 Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

Things to think about:

How do you picture God?
Do you think of God as being strong and mighty? How, when?
Do you think of God as being clothed in majesty? What does it mean to do that?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for this Scripture in Psalm 93. LORD, we praise You for Your majesty and power. You are mightier than the sound of many waters crashing to the shore. Help us to learn to listen for Your voice. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

About the book:

The Book of Psalms: Part 4 Chapters 91-118 by Deborah H. Bateman is 29th book in the Daily Bible Reading Series. The book of Psalms contains 150 chapters. Deborah divided The Book of Psalms into five books to make it easier to read and study. Each book contains approximately thirty chapters from the book of Psalms.

Psalm 119 has already been published in a book about it called: Psalm 119: Thy Word is a Lamp unto My Feet. The book of Psalms is one of Deborah’s favorite books of the Bible. It is a great book to read if you’re ever feeling down or need to renew your relationship with Christ. King David went through a lot of tough times in his lifetime, but he loved God and trusted God to protect him from his enemies.

The book of Psalms was written by various people. About half of it was attributed to King David, whether they were written by David or for David is questioned by some biblical scholars. Some of the Psalms were written by Asaph and some say they were written for the sons of Korah and even Moses and Solomon were writers of the Psalms. The Psalms consists of poetry that was primarily meant to be used as songs of praise to the Lord.

The Book of Psalms: Part 4 Chapters 91-118 contains thirty-six Daily Bible Reading Lessons. Each lesson contains a brief commentary by the author, the Daily Bible Reading Scriptures, a few questions for contemplation or discussion, and a prayer of the day. It is a great Bible study for individuals or group studies.

Daily Bible Reading “Give Thanks to the LORD” (Psalm 92:1-15)

Posted on December 7, 2025 by Deborah H. Bateman

Give Thanks to the LORD

Today’s Daily Bible Reading is from Psalm 92:1-15. Psalm 92 is a psalm, or song, for the Sabbath day, in which the Psalmist reminds us it is good to give thanks to the LORD and sing praises to His name. We can show Him our love and faithfulness by praying and giving thanks to Him both in the morning and at night before we fall asleep.

We can sing praises to God and play instruments with songs of hymns to Him. If you don’t play an instrument or sing, there are many other ways to praise Him. We have so much to thank God for. We can thank Him for His wondrous works.

It pleases God for us to have an attitude of gratitude toward Him, instead of taking everything He does for us for granted. Doesn’t it make you feel good when others are grateful for what you do for them, instead of taking it for granted and acting like you owe them? In the same way our Heavenly Father enjoys it when we thank and praise Him.

The wicked don’t understand the LORD. The Scripture says, they will be destroyed, but God will reign forever. The righteous will flourish like the trees of Lebanon. They will bring forth fruit in their old days. The Psalmist declares, “The LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.”

Giving thanks and praising God are two of the things I talked about in my books: Give Thanks and Finding Our Identity in Christ. When we begin to thank God and praise Him we can feel His presence with us. As we do these things it will help us to develop a close, personal, intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

Daily Bible Reading:

Psalm 92:1-15

1 [A Psalm [or Song for the sabbath day.]] It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:
2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.
4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.
5 O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep.
6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.
7 When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever:
8 But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore.
9 For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
10 But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.
11 Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me.
12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
13 Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;
15 To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.

Things to think about:

In what ways do you enjoy giving thanks to God?
What are your favorite songs to sing praises to God?
Do you ever sing songs of praise to God outside of church?
In what ways do you consider the LORD your rock?

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for this Scripture in Psalm 92, where the Psalmist reminds us to give thanks to You and to sing Your praises. He reminds us that the righteous will flourish. Help us to show our love and faithfulness to You by giving thanks and singing praises to You day and night. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
