PSALM 24
The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, 
    the world, and those who live in it; 
2 for he has founded it on the seas, 
    and established it on the rivers. 
3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? 
    And who shall stand in his holy place? 
4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, 
    who do not lift up their souls to what is false, 
    and do not swear deceitfully. 
5 They will receive blessing from the Lord, 
    and vindication from the God of their salvation. 
6 Such is the company of those who seek him, 
    who seek the face of the God of Jacob.[a]Selah 
7 Lift up your heads, O gates! 
    and be lifted up, O ancient doors! 
    that the King of glory may come in. 
8 Who is the King of glory? 
    The Lord, strong and mighty, 
    the Lord, mighty in battle. 
9 Lift up your heads, O gates! 
    and be lifted up, O ancient doors! 
    that the King of glory may come in. 
10 Who is this King of glory? 
    The Lord of hosts, 
    he is the King of glory. Selah
