1A psalm of David. The LORD owns the earth and all it contains, the world and all who live in it. | 1The earth and everything in it, the world and its inhabitants, belong to the LORD; |
2For he set its foundation upon the seas, and established it upon the ocean currents. | 2for he laid its foundation on the seas and established it on the rivers. |
3Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may go up to his holy dwelling place? | 3Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? |
4The one whose deeds are blameless and whose motives are pure, who does not lie, or make promises with no intention of keeping them. | 4The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not appealed to what is false, and who has not sworn deceitfully. |
5Such godly people are rewarded by the LORD, and vindicated by the God who delivers them. | 5He will receive blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. |
6Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor, Jacob's descendants, who pray to him. (Selah) | 6Such is the generation of those who inquire of him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Selah |
7Look up, you gates! Rise up, you eternal doors! Then the majestic king will enter! | 7Lift up your heads, you gates! Rise up, ancient doors! Then the King of glory will come in. |
8Who is this majestic king? The LORD who is strong and mighty! The LORD who is mighty in battle! | 8Who is this King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in battle. |
9Look up, you gates! Rise up, you eternal doors! Then the majestic king will enter! | 9Lift up your heads, you gates! Rise up, ancient doors! Then the King of glory will come in. |
10Who is this majestic king? The LORD who commands armies! He is the majestic king! (Selah) | 10Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD of Armies, he is the King of glory. Selah |
