The King of Glory Entering Zion.

1 A Psalm of David.
The (A)earth is the Lord’s, and (a)all it contains,
The (B)world, and those who dwell in it.
2
For He has (C)founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the rivers.
3
Who may (D)ascend into the (E)hill of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy (F)place?
4
He who has (G)clean hands and a (H)pure heart,
Who has not (I)lifted up his soul (b)to falsehood
And has not (J)sworn deceitfully.
5
He shall receive a (K)blessing from the Lord
And (c)(L)righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6
(d)This is the generation of those who (M)seek Him,
Who seek Your face—even Jacob. (e)Selah.
7
(N)Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, O (f)ancient doors,
That the King of (O)glory may come in!
8
Who is the King of glory?
The Lord (P)strong and mighty,
The Lord (Q)mighty in battle.
9
Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, O (g)ancient doors,
That the King of (R)glory may come in!
10
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of (S)hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah.
