| 1The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. | 1The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; The LORD is robed, enveloped in strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken. |
| 2Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting. | 2Your throne has been established from the beginning; You are from eternity. |
| 3The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring. | 3The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their pounding waves. |
| 4Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty! | 4Greater than the roar of many waters-- the mighty breakers of the sea-- the LORD on high is majestic. |
| 5Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore. | 5 LORD, Your testimonies are completely reliable; holiness is the beauty of Your house for all the days to come. |
