| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 1 A psalm of David. The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. | 1 The earth is the LORD's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; |
| 2 For he laid the earth's foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths. | 2 for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters. |
| 3 Who may climb the mountain of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? | 3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy place? |
| 4 Only those whose hands and hearts are pure, who do not worship idols and never tell lies. | 4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false. |
| 5 They will receive the LORD's blessing and have right standing with God their savior. | 5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior. |
| 6 They alone may enter God's presence and worship the God of Israel. Interlude | 6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O God of Jacob. "Selah" |
| 7 Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. | 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. |
| 8 Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, invincible in battle. | 8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. |
| 9 Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter. | 9 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. |
| 10 Who is the King of glory? The LORD Almighty -- he is the King of glory. Interlude | 10 Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD Almighty-- he is the King of glory. "Selah" |
