The floods have lifted up, O Lord, The floods have lifted up their voice; The floods lift up their pounding waves. 4More than the sounds of many waters, More than the mighty breakers of the sea, The Lord on high is mighty. 5Your precepts are fully confirmed and completely reliable; Holiness adorns Your house, O Lord, forever.
