(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.

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!
