(A psalm by David.)

Who Can Enter the Lord's Temple?

1 The earth and everything on it,

including its people,

belong to the Lord.

The world and its people

belong to him.

2The Lord placed it all

on the oceans and rivers.

3Who may climb the Lord's hill+

or stand in his holy temple?

4 Only those who do right

for the right reasons,

and don't worship idols

or tell lies under oath.

5The Lord God, who saves them,

will bless and reward them,

6because they worship and serve

the God of Jacob.+

7Open the ancient gates,

so that the glorious king

may come in.

8Who is this glorious king?

He is our Lord, a strong

and mighty warrior.

9Open the ancient gates,

so that the glorious king

may come in.

10Who is this glorious king?

He is our Lord,

the All-Powerful!
