¹The Lord doth reign, and cloth'd is he

with majesty most bright;

His works do shew him cloth'd to be,

and girt about with might.

The world is also stablished,

that it cannot depart.

²Thy throne is fix'd of old, and thou

from everlasting art.

³The floods, O Lord, have lifted up,

they lifted up their voice;

The floods have lifted up their waves,

and made a mighty noise.

⁴But yet the Lord, that is on high,

is more of might by far

Than noise of many waters is,

or great sea-billows are.

⁵Thy testimonies ev'ry one

in faithfulness excel;

And holiness for ever, Lord,

thine house becometh well.
