   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.
