³ Who can ascend the Lord’s mountain?
    Who can stand in his holy sanctuary?
⁴ Only the one with clean hands and a pure heart;
    the one who hasn’t made false promises,
    the one who hasn’t sworn dishonestly.
⁵ That kind of person receives blessings from the Lord
    and righteousness from the God who saves.
⁶ And that’s how things are
    with the generation that seeks him—
    that seeks the face of Jacob’s God.^[a] Selah

⁷ Mighty gates: lift up your heads!

⁸ Who is this glorious king?
    The Lord—strong and powerful!
    The Lord—powerful in battle!
⁹ Mighty gates: lift up your heads!
    Ancient doors: rise up high!
        So the glorious king can enter!
¹⁰ Who is this glorious king?
    The Lord of heavenly forces—
        he is the glorious king! Selah

⁷ Give to the Lord, all families of the nations—
    give to the Lord glory and power!
⁸ Give to the Lord the glory due his name!
    Bring gifts!
    Enter his courtyards!
⁹ Bow down to the Lord in his holy splendor!
    Tremble before him, all the earth!

¹⁰ Tell the nations, “The Lord rules!
    Yes, he set the world firmly in place;^[a]
    it won’t be shaken.
    He will judge all people fairly.”
¹¹ Let heaven celebrate! Let the earth rejoice!
    Let the sea and everything in it roar!
¹²     Let the countryside and everything in it celebrate!
    Then all the trees of the forest too
        will shout out joyfully
¹³         before the Lord because he is coming!
He is coming to establish justice on the earth!
    He will establish justice in the world rightly.
    He will establish justice among all people fairly.
