Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord’s land, and all it contains;
The world and all those who dwell and remain.

For on it He’s founded the earth on the seas,
Established on waters and rivers, on these.

Then who shall ascend there into the Lord’s hill?
And who in His holy place rise and stand still?

Those hands that are guiltless, those pure in their heart;
Whose soul is not vain; of deceit takes no part.

It’s he who receives, who’ll be blessed of the Lord;
And justice from God of salvation’s reward.

Yes, this is the comp’ny who of Him inquire;
That, Oh God of Jacob, Your face they desire.

Oh gates lift your heads up; old doors upward swing;
Then there He may enter, all glorious King!

Who then is this great King? The Lord, strong with might;
The Lord, mighty warrior, contends for the right.

Oh gates lift your heads up; old doors upward swing;
Then there He may enter, all glorious King!

Yes, Who is this King of all glory arrayed?
The Lord of hosts, He’s King of glory displayed!
