1 The Lord reigns, clothed in majesty! He wears his royal robes, with his power worn like a belt. The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart.

2 Your throne has existed from ages past; you are from eternity.

3 The floods have raised up, Lord; the floods have raised their voices; the floods have raised up their crashing waves.

4 But greater than the most violent ocean, greater than the largest waves of the sea, the greatest is the Lord above.

5 Your laws are totally trustworthy. Your house,* Lord, is holy forever.
