International Standard Version

1 The earth and everything in it exists for the LORD— the world and those who live in it.

2 Indeed, he founded it upon the seas, he established it upon deep waters. ^a

3 Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD? ^b Who may stand in his Holy Place?

4 The one who has innocent hands and a pure heart; the person who does not delight in what is false and does not swear an oath deceitfully.

5 This person ^c will receive blessing from the LORD and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation that seeks him. Those who seek your face are the true seed of ^d Jacob. Interlude

7 Lift up your heads, ^e gates! Be lifted up, ancient doors, so 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, ^f gates! Be lifted up, ancient doors, so the King of Glory may come in.

10 Who is he, this King of Glory? The LORD of the heavenly armies— He is the King of Glory. Interlude
