1 The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof;
The world, and they that dwell therein;
For he hath founded it upon the seas,
And established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who shall stand in his holy place?
He that hath clean hands and a pure heart;
Who hath not lifted upon his soul unto vanity,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation,
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation of them that seek him,
That seek thy face, O God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors;
And the King of glory shall come in, the King of glory shall come in,
The King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord, the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates,
Even lift them up, ye everlasting doors,
And the King of glory shall come in, the King of glory shall come in,
The King of glory shall come in.
Who is this King of glory? Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts, The Lord of hosts.
He is the King of glory, He is the King of glory,
He is the King, the King of glory,
He is the King, the King of glory, the King of glory.
