Psalmorum 24

1 Psalmus David, Prima sabbathi. Domini est terra, et plenitudo eius: orbis terrarum, et universi, qui habitant in eo.

A psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.

2 Quia ipse super maria fundavit eum: et super flumina praeparavit eum.

For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.

3 Quis ascendet in montem Domini? aut quis stabit in loco sancto eius?

Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?

4 Innocens manibus et mundo corde, qui non accepit in vano animam suam, nec iuravit in dolo proximo suo.

Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.

5 Hic accipiet benedictionem a Domino: et misericordiam a Deo salutari suo.

They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.

6 Haec est generatio quaerentium eum, quaerentium faciem Dei Iacob.

These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. (Selah)

8 Quis est iste rex gloriae? Dominus fortis et potens: Dominus potens in praelio.

Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.

9 Attollite portas principes vestras, et elevamini portae aeternales: et introibit rex gloriae.

Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!
