The Message Bible MSG
1 The Lord is king, he is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed, he is girded with strength. He has established the world; it shall never be moved;
1
God is King, robed and ruling, God is robed and surging with strength. And yes, the world is firm, immovable,
2 your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting.
2
Your throne ever firm - you're Eternal!
3 The floods have lifted up, O Lord, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.
3
Sea storms are up, God, Sea storms wild and roaring, Sea storms with thunderous breakers.
4 More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters, more majestic than the waves of the sea, majestic on high is the Lord!
4
Stronger than wild sea storms, Mightier than sea-storm breakers, Mighty God rules from High Heaven.
5 Your decrees are very sure; holiness befits your house, O Lord, forevermore.
5
What you say goes - it always has. "Beauty" and "Holy" mark your palace rule, God, to the very end of time.
