The text of the psalm

יְהוָה מָלָךְ גֵּאוּת לָבֵשׁ לָבֵשׁ יְהוָה עֹז הִתְאַזָּר אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּֽוֹט׃

The LORD reigneth; He is clothed in majesty; The LORD is clothed, He hath girded Himself with strength; Yea, the world is established, that it cannot be moved.

נָכוֹן כִּסְאֲךָ מֵאָז מֵעוֹלָם אָֽתָּה׃

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

נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת יְהוָה נָשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת קוֹלָם יִשְׂאוּ נְהָרוֹת דָּכְיָֽם׃

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their roaring.

מִקֹּלוֹת מַיִם רַבִּים אַדִּירִים מִשְׁבְּרֵי־יָם אַדִּיר בַּמָּרוֹם יְהוָֽה׃

Above the voices of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea, The LORD on high is mighty.

עֵדֹתֶיךָ נֶאֶמְנוּ מְאֹד לְבֵיתְךָ נַאֲוָה־קֹדֶשׁ יְהוָה לְאֹרֶךְ יָמִֽים׃

Thy testimonies are very sure, Holiness becometh Thy house, O LORD, for evermore.
