1 The Lord is King; he is clothed with glory; the Lord is clothed with strength; power is the cord of his robe; the world is fixed, so that it may not be moved.
1
The 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.
2 The seat of your power has been from the past; you are eternal.
2
Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.
3 The rivers send up, O Lord, the rivers send up their voices; they send them up with a loud cry.
3
The seas have lifted up, LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
4 The Lord in heaven is stronger than the noise of great waters, yes, he is stronger than the great waves of the sea.
4
Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is mighty.
5 Your witness is most certain; it is right for your house to be holy, O Lord, for ever.
5
Your statutes, LORD, stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days.
