| 1The 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. | 1The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; The LORD is robed, enveloped in strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken. |
| 2Thy throne is established of old: thou art 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 waves. | 3The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their pounding waves. |
| 4The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. | 4Greater than the roar of many waters-- the mighty breakers of the sea-- the LORD on high is majestic. |
| 5Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever. | 5 LORD, Your testimonies are completely reliable; holiness is the beauty of Your house for all the days to come. |
