1 * The earth and everything on it,

including its people,

belong to the Lord.

The world and its people

belong to him.

2 The Lord placed it all

on the oceans and rivers.

3 Who 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.

5 The Lord God, who saves them,

will bless and reward them,

6 because they worship and serve

the God of Jacob.*

7 Open the ancient gates,

so that the glorious king

may come in.

8 Who is this glorious king?

He is our Lord, a strong

and mighty warrior.

9 Open the ancient gates,

so that the glorious king

may come in.

10 Who is this glorious king?

He is our Lord,

the All-Powerful!
