Psalms

¹ The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.

² For he laid the earth’s foundation on the seas and built it on the ocean depths.

³ Who may climb the mountain 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.

⁵ They will receive the LORD’s blessing and have a right relationship with God their savior.

⁶ Such people may seek you and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob. Interlude

⁹ Open up, ancient gates! Open up, ancient doors, and let the King of glory enter.
