1The 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.
יהוה מלך גאות לבש לבש יהוה עז התאזר אף תכון תבל בל תמוט׃
2Firmly established is thy throne from the beginning: from everlasting art thou [God].
נכון כסאך מאז מעולם אתה׃
3The rivers have lifted up, O Lord, the rivers have lifted up their voice; the rivers lift up their waves.
נשאו נהרות יהוה נשאו נהרות קולם ישאו נהרות דכים׃
4[But] more than the noise of great waters, than the mighty billows of the sea, is the Lord excellent on high.
מקלות מים רבים אדירים משברי ים אדיר במרום יהוה׃
5Thy testimonies are exceedingly steadfast: in thy house abideth holiness, O Lord! to the utmost length of days.
