The earth is the Lord’s, and the fullness of it,
The world, and those who dwell in it.

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in.

Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Lord?
And who may stand in His holy place?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false,
Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully.

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

For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the streams and the rivers.

Who is [He then] this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.

This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need,
Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. Selah.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in.
