ParaphraseNot recommended for deep study

1 The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
3 Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! Selah.
