1 The Lord doth reign, and clothed is he with majesty most bright; His works do show him clothed to be, and girt about with might. The world is also stablishèd, that it cannot depart. 2 Thy throne is fixed of old, and thou from everlasting art. 3 The floods, O Lord, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice; The floods have lifted up their waves, and made a mighty noise. 4 But yet the Lord, that is on high, is more of might by far Than noise of many waters is, or great sea-billows are. 5 Thy testimonies ev'ry one in faithfulness excel; And holiness for ever, Lord, thine house becometh well.
