Book One (Psalms 1-41) "Concerning Man"

A Psalm of David.


1:   The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2:   For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3:   Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4:   He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5:   He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6:   This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

7:   Lift up your head, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

8:   Who is this King of glory?

The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9:   Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10:   Who is this King of glory?

The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
