The earth is the Lord's in its fullness,
The world and those who live in it;
He founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the floods.
Who may go up to the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
The man with clean hands and pure heart,
Who plans no evil purpose,
Nor promises in order to deceive.
He shall win from the Lord a blessing,
And approval from God his Saviour.
Such is the man who may worship him,
Who may enter thy presence, O God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, O gates,
Be lifted up, O everlasting doors,
Let the King of Glory come in!
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
The Lord, mighty in battle!
Lift up your heads, O gates,
Be lifted up, O everlasting doors,
That the King of Glory may come in.
Who is this King of Glory?
The Lord, the God of hosts,
He is the King of Glory!
