New International Version NIV
The Message Bible MSG
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.
1
God is King, robed and ruling, God is robed and surging with strength. And yes, the world is firm, immovable,
2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.
2
Your throne ever firm - you're Eternal!
3 The seas have lifted up, LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
3
Sea storms are up, God, Sea storms wild and roaring, Sea storms with thunderous breakers.
4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is mighty.
4
Stronger than wild sea storms, Mightier than sea-storm breakers, Mighty God rules from High Heaven.
5 Your statutes, LORD, stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days.
5
What you say goes - it always has. "Beauty" and "Holy" mark your palace rule, God, to the very end of time.
