1 The earth belongs to the Lord. And so does everything in it. The world belongs to him. And so do all those who live in it.
2 He set it firmly on the oceans. He made it secure on the waters.
3 Who can go up to the temple on the hill of the Lord? Who can stand in his holy place?
4 Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart. He does not worship the statue of a god. He doesn't use the name of that god when he makes a promise.
5 People like that will receive the Lord's blessing. When God their Savior hands down his sentence, it will be in their favor.
6 The people who look to God are like that. God of Jacob, they look to you. Selah
7 Open wide, you gates. Open up, you age-old doors. Then the King of glory will come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord, who is strong and mighty. The Lord, who is mighty in battle.
9 Open wide, you gates. Open wide, you age-old doors. Then the King of glory will come in.
