- A Psalm. Pertaining to Dauid. On the first of the sabbaths.
The Lord’s is the earth and its fullness,
the inhabited world and all those who inhabit it; - He himself founded it on seas
and prepared it on rivers. - Who shall ascend onto the mountain of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his holy place? - One with innocent hands and a clean heart;
he who did not occupy his soul with vanity
and did not swear deceitfully to his neighbor. - He it is that will receive blessing from the Lord
and mercy from his divine savior. - This is the generation of people who seek him,
seeking the countenance of the God of Iakob.
Interlude on Strings
- Raise the gates, O rulers of yours!
And be raised up, O eternal gates!
And the King of glory will enter. - Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and powerful,
the Lord, powerful in battle. - Raise the gates, O rulers of yours!
And be raised up, O eternal gates!
And the King of glory will enter. - Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory.
