New International Version NIV
New International Reader's Version NIRV
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
The LORD rules. He puts on majesty as if it were clothes. The LORD puts on majesty and strength. The world is firmly set in place. It can't be moved.
2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity.
2
Lord, you began to rule a long time ago. You have always existed.
3 The seas have lifted up, LORD, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
3
Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice. They have lifted up their pounding waves.
4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the LORD on high is mighty.
4
But Lord, you are more powerful than the roar of the ocean. You are stronger than the waves of the sea. Lord, you are powerful in heaven.
5 Your statutes, LORD, stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days.
5
Your laws do not change. Lord, your temple will be holy for all time to come.
