1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it; |
2 for he 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 by what is false.1 24:4 Or swear falsely |
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God his Savior. |
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, O God of Jacob.2 24:6 Two Hebrew manuscripts and Syriac (see also Septuagint); most Hebrew manuscripts face, Jacob

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in. |
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle. |
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in. |
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty-
he is the King of glory.
