The Earth Is the LORD’s

1For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

2For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.

3Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

4The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

5He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour.

6This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

7Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

8Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.

9Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

10Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.
