A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place?

4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

Lift 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 this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.'

9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.

'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)
