1The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.
2For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.
3Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?
4Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.
5They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.
6These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. Selah.
7Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!
8Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.
9Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!
10Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! Selah.
