The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not trust in an idol
or swear by a false god.
5 They will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, God of Jacob.,
7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The LORD strong and mighty,
the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in 10 Who is he, this King of glory?
The LORD Almighty —
he is the King of glory.

Psalm 24

The earth belongs to God, ‘tis yours by right,

For you created earth and sky and sea:

You pushed away the oceans by your might

That islands, continents and lands might be.

Who may ascend the hill of this great God,

Before His holy presence fearless stand

To tell Him He is worshipped and adored?

The people who are clean of heart and hand.

God’s throne is open to the trusting heart,

To those who hate and spurn dishonesty;

From lying lips have set themselves apart –

God’s gift of righteousness to them is free.

To such as these God opens up the way

To enter into fellowship with Him;

They’ll share His heart, He’ll never say them nay:

Their love, their faith, their hope will never dim.

Swing wide, O ancient gates, receive your God

And let the King of Glory enter in:

Who is this King of Glory?  He is Lord.

Victorious in battle is our King!

Come, open up your gates, your voices raise;

Exalt our mighty King of Glory now:

Join with the heavenly host in joyous praise;

Before His throne in awe and wonder bow.
