1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
10 Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory. Selah
