2 | For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers. |
3 | Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place? |
4 | The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor. |
5 | He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour. |
6 | This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob. |
7 | Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter. |
8 | Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle. |
9 | Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter. |
10 | Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory. |
