5The Lord rules over all.

The Lord touches the earth, and it melts.

Everyone who lives in it sobs.

The whole land rises like the Nile River.

Then it settles back down again

like that river in Egypt.

6The Lord builds his palace high in the heavens.

He lays its foundation on the earth.

He sends for the waters in the clouds.

Then he pours them out on the surface of the land.

His name is The Lord.

ESVEnglish Standard Version

The Lord God of hosts,

he who touches the earth and it melts,

and all who dwell in it mourn,

and all of it rises like the Nile,

and sinks again, like the Nile of Egypt;

who builds his upper chambers in the heavens

and founds his vault upon the earth;

who calls for the waters of the sea

and pours them out upon the surface of the earth—

the Lord is his name.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

The Lord, the Lord Almighty—

he touches the earth and it melts,

and all who live in it mourn;

the whole land rises like the Nile,

then sinks like the river of Egypt;

he builds his lofty palace in the heavens

and sets its foundation on the earth;

he calls for the waters of the sea

and pours them out over the face of the land—

the Lord is his name.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The Lord, the God of Armies—

he touches the earth;

it melts, and all who dwell in it mourn;

all of it rises like the Nile

and subsides like the Nile of Egypt.

He builds his upper chambers

in the heavens

and lays the foundation of his vault

on the earth.

He summons the water of the sea

and pours it out over the surface of the earth.

The Lord is his name.

NLTNew Living Translation

The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies,

touches the land and it melts,

and all its people mourn.

The ground rises like the Nile River at floodtime,

and then it sinks again.

The Lord’s home reaches up to the heavens,

while its foundation is on the earth.

He draws up water from the oceans

and pours it down as rain on the land.

The Lord is his name!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And thus will do the Lord Yahweh of hosts, who touches the earth and it melts, and all of those living in it mourn, and all of it rises like the Nile and it sinks down like the Nile of Egypt, who builds his upper chambers in the heavens and lays the foundation of his vault on the earth, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them on the surface of the earth—Yahweh is his name.

KJV 1900King James Version

And the Lord God of hosts is he that toucheth the land, and it shall melt,

And all that dwell therein shall mourn:

And it shall rise up wholly like a flood;

And shall be drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.

It is he that buildeth his stories in the heaven,

And hath founded his troop in the earth;

He that calleth for the waters of the sea,

And poureth them out upon the face of the earth:

The Lord is his name.
