1A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. | 1A psalm of David. The LORD owns the earth and all it contains, the world and all who live in it. |

3Who may ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who may stand in His holy place? | 3Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the LORD? Who may go up to his holy dwelling place? |
4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. | 4The one whose deeds are blameless and whose motives are pure, who does not lie, or make promises with no intention of keeping them. |
5He shall receive blessing from the LORD, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. | 5Such godly people are rewarded by the LORD, and vindicated by the God who delivers them. |
6This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah | 6Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor, Jacob's descendants, who pray to him. (Selah) |

9Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. | 9Look up, you gates! Rise up, you eternal doors! Then the majestic king will enter! |
10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah | 10Who is this majestic king? The LORD who commands armies! He is the majestic king! (Selah) |
