| New King James Version | Holman Christian Standard Bible |
| 1The LORD reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The LORD is clothed, He has girded Himself with strength. Surely the world is established, so that it cannot be moved. | 1The LORD reigns! He is robed in majesty; The LORD is robed, enveloped in strength. The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken. |
| 2Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting. | 2Your throne has been established from the beginning; You are from eternity. |
| 3The floods have lifted up, O LORD, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their waves. | 3The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their pounding waves. |
| 4The LORD on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, Than the mighty waves of the sea. | 4Greater than the roar of many waters-- the mighty breakers of the sea-- the LORD on high is majestic. |
| 5Your testimonies are very sure; Holiness adorns Your house, O LORD, forever. | 5 LORD, Your testimonies are completely reliable; holiness is the beauty of Your house for all the days to come. |
