| English Standard Version | New International Version |
| 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 in majesty and armed with strength; indeed, the world is established, firm and secure. |
| 2Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting. | 2Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. |
| 3The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring. | 3The seas have lifted up, LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. |
| 4Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty! | 4Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea-- the LORD on high is mighty. |
| 5Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore. | 5Your statutes, LORD, stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days. |
