[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 mountain of the LORD? Who can stand in his holy place? [4] Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart. Anyone who does not trust in the statue of a god. Anyone who 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. [7] Open wide, you gates. Open up, you ancient 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 ancient doors. Then the King of glory will come in. [10] Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD who rules over all. He is the King of glory.
