Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved. 2. Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting. 3. The floods have lifted up, Yahweh, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves. 4. Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, Yahweh on high is mighty. 5. Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, Yahweh, forever more. (Psalms 93:1-5, WEB)

KJV

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. 2. Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. ^{of old: Heb. from then} 3. The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. 4. The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. 5. Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever. ^{for ever: Heb. to length of days} (Psalms 93:1-5, KJV)

YLT

Jehovah hath reigned, Excellency He hath put on, Jehovah put on strength, He girded Himself, Also, established is the world, unmoved. 2. Established is Thy throne since then, From the age Thou [art]. 3. Floods have lifted up, O Jehovah, Floods have lifted up their voice, Floods lift up their breakers. 4. Than the voices of many mighty waters, Breakers of a sea, mighty on high [is] Jehovah, 5. Thy testimonies have been very stedfast, To Thy house comely [is] holiness, O Jehovah, for length of days! (Psalms 93:1-5, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
