23
1 A Psalm for David on the first day of the week.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof;
The world, and all that dwell in it.
2 He has founded it upon the seas,
And prepared it upon the rivers.
 
3 Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord,
And who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart;
Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity,
Nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord,
And mercy from God his Savior.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him,
That seek the face of the God of Jacob. Pause.
 
7 Lift up your gates, ye princes,
And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors;
And the king of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this king of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
The Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your gates, ye princes;
And be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;
And the king of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this king of glory?
The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.
