Tap a verse to highlight it

1 HaShem reigneth; He is clothed in majesty; HaShem is clothed, He hath girded Himself with strength; yea, the world is established, that it cannot be moved.

2 Thy throne is established of old; Thou art from everlasting.

3 The floods have lifted up, O HaShem, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.

4 Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, HaShem on high is mighty.

5 Thy testimonies are very sure, holiness becometh Thy house, O HaShem, for evermore.
