Setting
The LORD is king; his throne endures
Free Church of Scotland psalter · C.M.
The words
The LORD is king; his throne endures majestic in his height. The LORD is robed in majesty and armed with strength and might.
The world is founded firm and sure— removed it cannot be. Your throne is strong, and you are God from all eternity.
The seas, O LORD, have lifted up, they lifted up their voice; The seas have lifted up their waves and made a mighty noise.
The LORD, enthroned on high, is strong; more powerful is he Than thunder of the ocean’s waves or breakers of the sea.
Your royal statutes, LORD, stand firm; unchanging is your word. And holiness adorns your house for endless days, O LORD.

How is this list ordered?
Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.
Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
