1 The earth belongs to the Lord, and everything in it -- the world and all its people.
1
By David. A psalm: The earth is ADONAI's, with all that is in it, the world and those who live there;
2 He built it on the waters and set it on the rivers.
2
for he set its foundations on the seas and established it on the rivers.
3 Who may go up on the mountain of the Lord?
3
Who may go up to the mountain of ADONAI? Who can stand in his holy place?
4 Only those with clean hands and pure hearts, who have not worshiped idols, who have not made promises in the name of a false god.
4
Those with clean hands and pure hearts, who don't make vanities the purpose of their lives or swear oaths just to deceive.
5 They will receive a blessing from the Lord; the God who saves them will declare them right.
5
They will receive a blessing from ADONAI and justice from God, who saves them.
6 They try to follow God; they look to the God of Jacob for help. Selah

Such is the character of those who seek him, of Ya'akov, who seeks your face. (Selah)
7 Gates, open all the way. Open wide, aged doors so the glorious King will come in.

Lift up your heads, you gates! Lift them up, everlasting doors, so that the glorious king can enter!

Who is he, this glorious king? ADONAI, strong and mighty, ADONAI, mighty in battle.
9 Gates, open all the way. Open wide, aged doors so the glorious King will come in.

Lift up your heads, you gates! Lift them up, everlasting doors, so that the glorious king can enter!
