1A psalm of David.
The earth is the Lord ’s and all it holds,
the world and those who dwell in it.
2For he founded it on the seas,
established it over the rivers.
3Who may go up the mountain of the Lord ?[#Ps 15:1.]
Who can stand in his holy place?
4“The clean of hand and pure of heart,[#Lit., “the one whose hands are clean.” The singular is used for the entire class of worshipers.]
who has not given his soul to useless things,
what is vain.
5He will receive blessings from the Lord ,
and justice from his saving God.
6Such is the generation that seeks him,
that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.”
7Lift up your heads, O gates;[#24:7, 9] : the literal meaning would involve disassembly of the gates, since the portcullis (a gate that moves up and down) was unknown in the ancient world. Extra-biblical parallels might also suggest a full personification of the circle of gate towers: they are like a council of elders, bowed down and anxious, awaiting the return of the army and the great warrior gone to battle.]
be lifted, you ancient portals,
that the king of glory may enter.
8Who is this king of glory?
The Lord , strong and mighty,
the Lord , mighty in war.
9Lift up your heads, O gates;
rise up, you ancient portals,
that the king of glory may enter.
10Who is this king of glory?
The Lord of hosts, he is the king of glory.
