Chapter breakdown

Dominus regnavit is the incipit. The separate heading interprets kingdom glory and stability as the church of Christ. The inscription is praise in a canticle for David himself on the day before sabbath when earth was founded. It is not evidence of a witnessed composition scene.

The Lord has reigned, clothed with beauty and strength and girded Himself; He established the world which shall not be moved. The next verse says My throne is prepared from of old and addresses God as everlasting. The floods have lifted their voice and waves with many waters' noise. The surges of sea are wonderful and the Lord on high wonderful. No completed subduing of a tempest or primeval flood crisis is narrated.

Testimonies have become exceedingly credible, and holiness becomes God's house unto length of days. The final statements are retained without turning the sequence into a causal proof that storms establish credibility or importing a physical cosmological explanation.
