¹The earth belongs unto the Lord,

and all that it contains;

The world that is inhabited,

and all that there remains.

²For the foundations thereof

he on the seas did lay,

And he hath it established

upon the floods to stay.

³Who is the man that shall ascend

into the hill of God?

Or who within his holy place

shall have a firm abode?

⁴Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure,

and unto vanity

Who hath not lifted up his soul,

nor sworn deceitfully.

⁵He from th' Eternal shall receive

the blessing him upon,

And righteousness, ev'n from the God

of his salvation.

⁶This is the generation

that after him enquire,

O Jacob, who do seek thy face

with their whole heart's desire.

⁷Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;

ye doors that last for aye,

Be lifted up, that so the King

of glory enter may.

⁸But who of glory is the King?

The mighty Lord is this;

Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might

and strong in battle is.

⁹Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,

doors that do last for aye,

Be lifted up, that so the King

of glory enter may.

¹⁰But who is he that is the King

of glory? who is this?

The Lord of hosts, and none but he,

the King of glory is.
