The King of Glory and His Kingdom

A Psalm of David.

1 The ^aearth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell therein.

2 For He has ^afounded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the¹ waters.

3 ^aWho may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?

4 He who has ^aclean hands and ^ba pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor ^csworn deceitfully.

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

6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who ^aseek Him,
Who seek Your face. Selah

7 ^aLift up your heads, O you gates!
And be lifted up, you everlasting doors!
^bAnd the King of glory shall come in.

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