Möseler Verlag Wolfenbüttel, 1935. The notation in
the present edition is a major third higher than the
original, with half the time values. The original had
one flat in the soprano and tenor, and two in the alto
and bass. Translation, music ficta and text underlay

Singers.
Dominus regnavit,
decorem indutus est:
Indutus est Dominus fortitudinem,
et praecinxit se.
Etenim firmavit orbem terrae,
qui non commovebitur.
Parata sedes tua ex tunc;
A saeculo tu es.
Elevaverunt flumina, Domine,
Elevaverunt flumina vocem suam,
Elevaverunt flumina fluctus suos,
A vocibus aquarum multarum.
Mirabiles elationes maris;
Mirabilis in altis Dominus.
Testimonia tua
credibilia facta sunt nimis;
Domum tuam decet sanctitudo,
Domine, in longitudinem dierum.
Gloria Patri et Filio
et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio,
et nunc, et semper,
et in saecula saeculorum, Amen.
English translation
The Lord reigns,
he is clothed with majesty:
The Lord is clothed in strength,
and has girded himself.
For indeed he has made firm the earth,
which will not be displaced.
Your throne is prepared from of old;
You are beyond the age.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
The floods have lifted up their voice,
The floods have lifted up their waves,
From the voices of many waters.
Wonderful are the risings of the sea;
Wonderful on high is the Lord.
Your evidences
have been made greatly believable;
Holiness befits your house,
O Lord, into the length of days.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
and now, and forever,
and to the ages of ages, Amen.
