Tap a verse to highlight it

1 > The earth is Yahweh's, with its fullness; The world, and those who dwell therein.

2 For he has founded it on the seas, And established it on the floods.

3 Who may ascend to Yahweh's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; Who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, And has not sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek your face--even Jacob. Selah.

7 Lift up your heads, you gates; Be lifted up, you everlasting doors: The King of glory will come in.

8 Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; Yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors: The King of glory will come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.
