[1] The earth and all that's upon it belong to the Eternal. The world is His, with every living creature on it. [2] With seas as foundations and rivers as boundaries, He shaped the continents, fashioned the earth. [3] Who can possibly ascend the mountain of the Eternal? Who can stand before Him in sacred spaces? [4] Only those whose hands have been washed and hearts made pure, men and women who are not given to lies or deception. [5] The Eternal will stand close to them with blessing and mercy at hand, and the God who redeems will right what has been wrong. [6] These are the people who chase after Him; [like Jacob, they look for the face of God]. [pause] [7] City gates-open wide! Ancient doors-stand back! For the glorious King shall soon pass your way. [8] Who is the glorious King? The Eternal who is powerful and mightily equipped for battle. [9] City gates-open wide! Ancient doors-stand back! For the glorious King shall soon pass your way. [10] Who is the glorious King? The Eternal, Commander of heaven's army, He is the glorious King. [pause]
