[1] On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.
[2] For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
[3] Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?
[4] The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
[5] He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
[6] This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
[7] Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
[8] Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.
[9] Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
... [10] Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
