Leader: The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it;
People: for God has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers.
Leader: Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in YHWH’s holy place?
People: Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully.
Leader: They will receive blessing from the Lord, and vindication from the God of their salvation.
People: Such is the company of those who seek YHWH, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Leader: Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors! That the King of glory may come in.
People: Who is the King of glory?
Leader: The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle.People: Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in.
