1 J ehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also -- established is the world, unmoved.

¶ The LORD reigns; he has clothed himself with majesty; the LORD has clothed himself with strength; he has girded himself: he has established the world also, that it cannot be moved.

2 E stablished is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou.

From this time on, thy throne shall never be moved; thou art eternal.

3 F loods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers.

The rivers have lifted up, O LORD; the rivers have lifted up their voice; the rivers lift up their waves.

4 T han the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high Jehovah,

The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.

5 T hy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days!

Thy testimonies are very sure; holiness becomes thy house, O LORD, for ever.
