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.
and worship in your presence, O God of Jacob.*
Interlude
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.
The Lord, strong and mighty;
the Lord, invincible in battle.
Open up, ancient doors,
and let the King of glory enter.
The Lord of Heaven’s Armies—
he is the King of glory.
