CreationIntegrityWorshipGlory
1The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, The world, and those who live in it.
2For He has founded it upon the seas And established it upon the rivers.
3Who may ascend onto the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place?
4One who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to deceit And has not sworn deceitfully.
5He will receive a blessing from the Lord And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face—even Jacob. Selah
7¶Lift up your heads, you gates, And be lifted up, you ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in!
8Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, you gates, And lift them up, you ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in!
10Who is this King of glory? The Lord of armies, He is the King of glory. Selah
