1 The Lord reigneth, he is clothed with excellency; the Lord is clothed, he hath girded himself with strength: therefore also the world is firmly established, that it cannot be moved.

2 Firmly established is thy throne from the beginning: from everlasting art thou God.

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

4 But more than the noise of great waters, than the mighty billows of the sea, is the Lord excellent on high.

5 Thy testimonies are exceedingly steadfast: in thy house abideth holiness, O Lord! to the utmost length of days.
