1A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place?
4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.
5He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. Selah
7Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
8'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.'
9Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
10'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' Selah
