BibleOld TestamentPsalms

KJV

1 The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.
The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea.
Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

NET Bible

The LORD reigns!
He is robed in majesty,
the LORD is robed,
he wears strength around his waist.
Indeed, the world is established, it cannot be moved.
Your throne has been secure from ancient times;
you have always been king.
The waves roar, O LORD,
the waves roar,
the waves roar and crash.

Above the sound of the surging water,
and the mighty waves of the sea,
the LORD sits enthroned in majesty.

NRSV

The LORD is king, he is robed in majesty;
    the LORD is robed, he is girded with strength.
He has established the world; it shall never be moved;
    your throne is established from of old;
    you are from everlasting.

Geocentrism in the Bible

Reading this verse literally we see that the earth is immobile, contrary to the heliocentric model accepted by modern science. See Theistic Heliocentrism for the comparison between Heliocentrism and Evolution: both have been condemned for being (apparently) contrary to Scripture; Heliocentrism is a more serious error than Evolution if we judge by how many people have actually been executed for it!

In fact, however, neither Astronomy nor Evolution necessarily denies the hand of God by studying natural causes and effects.
