1 The Lord owns the earth and all it contains,the world and all who live in it.
2 For he set its foundation upon the seas,and established it upon the ocean currents.
3 Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the Lord?Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?
4 The one whose deeds are blamelessand whose motives are pure,who does not lie,or make promises with no intention of keeping them.
5 Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord,and vindicated by the God who delivers them.
6 Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor,Jacob’s descendants, who pray to him. (Selah)
7 Look up, you gates!Rise up, you eternal doors!Then the majestic king will enter!
8 Who is this majestic king?The Lord who is strong and mighty!The Lord who is mighty in battle!
9 Look up, you gates!Rise up, you eternal doors!Then the majestic king will enter!
10 Who is this majestic king?The Lord who commands armies!He is the majestic king! (Selah)
