The Earth Is the LORD’s

1(23:1) A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

2(23:2) He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

3(23:3) Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

4(23:4) He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5(23:5) He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6(23:6) This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. Pause.

7(23:7) Lift up your gates, ye princes, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

8(23:8) Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9(23:9) Lift up your gates, ye princes; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

10(23:10) Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.
