1A Psalm by David. The earth belongs to Yahweh, along with everything in it; the world, and all who live in it.
2For he built it on the seas and established it on the rivers.
3Who is allowed to go up Yahweh's mountain? Who can stand in his holy place?
4Only those with clean hands and a pure heart; those who haven't worshiped false gods, and haven't sworn to lies.
5They will receive blessings from Yahweh, and a right standing with the God who saves them.
6These are the people who look for Him, who seek your presence— the descendants of Jacob. <i>Pause.</i>
7Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you ancient doors, so the King of glory can come in.
8Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you ancient doors, so the King of glory can come in.
10Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! <i>Pause.</i>
