1Det er Herren, der sidder med magten, han er klædt i kongeligt skrud. Ingen kan udfordre hans herredømme, han grundlagde jorden, den står urokkeligt fast.2Herre, du har været Konge fra tidernes morgen, fra evighed har du siddet på tronen.3Havene[1] buldrer og brager, brændingen hamrer højlydt mod stranden.4Men Herren sidder roligt på sin trone, berøres ikke af bølgernes oprør.5Herre, dine love og bud står fast, dit tempel vidner om din hellighed for evigt.
1The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. (1.Krøn 16,31; Salm 46,5; Salm 65,6; Salm 96,10; Salm 104,1; Salm 125,1; Es 51,9)2Your throne is established from of old; you are from everlasting. (Salm 45,6; Salm 90,2)3The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring. (Salm 98,7; Salm 98,8; Hab 3,10)4Mightier than the thunders of many waters, mightier than the waves of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty! (Salm 65,6; Salm 65,7; Salm 92,8)5Your decrees are very trustworthy; holiness befits your house, O LORD, forevermore. (Salm 29,2; Salm 89,28; Salm 89,37)
