1 The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

1The earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

2For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

3Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

5He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)

6This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

7Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

7Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

8Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

8Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah.)

10Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
