For the day before the Sabbath, when the land was first inhabited, the praise of a Song by David. The Lord reigns; he has clothed himself with honour: the Lord has clothed and girded himself with strength; for he has established the world, which shall not be moved.

Thy throne is prepared of old: thou art from everlasting.

⁵

Thy testimonies are made very sure: holiness becomes thine house, O Lord, for ever.
