1Ein Psalm Davids. Die Erde und alles, was darauf ist, gehört dem HERRN. Die Welt und die Menschen sind sein. (Ps 89,12; 1Kor 10,1)2Denn er hat die Fundamente der Erde in den Meeren verankert und sie auf den Tiefen der Ozeane erbaut.3Wer darf den Berg des HERRN besteigen und wer an seinem heiligen Ort stehen? (Ps 15,1; Ps 65,5)4Nur die Menschen, deren Hände und Herzen rein sind, die keine Götzen anbeten[1] und keinen falschen Eid schwören. (Hi 17,9; Ps 51,12; Ps 73,1; Mt 5,8)5Sie empfangen den Segen des HERRN und Gerechtigkeit von Gott, ihrem Retter. (5Mo 11,26)6Das gilt für die Menschen, die nach dem Gott Israels[2] fragen und seine Gegenwart suchen. (Ps 27,8)7Öffnet euch, ihr ehrwürdigen Tore und ihr uralten Türen, damit der König der Herrlichkeit einziehen kann.8Wer ist der König der Herrlichkeit? Es ist der HERR, stark und mächtig, der HERR, mächtig im Kampf. (2Mo 15,3; Ps 76,4)9Öffnet euch, ihr ehrwürdigen Tore und ihr uralten Türen, damit der König der Herrlichkeit einziehen kann. (Sach 9,9; Mt 21,5)10Wer ist der König der Herrlichkeit? Es ist der allmächtige HERR – er ist der König der Herrlichkeit.
1A Psalm of David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,[1] the world and those who dwell therein, (2Mo 9,29; 2Mo 19,5; 5Mo 10,14; Hi 41,11; Ps 50,12; Ps 89,11; 1Kor 10,26)2for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers. (1Mo 1,9; Hi 38,6; Ps 104,5; Ps 136,6; Spr 8,29)3Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? And who shall stand in his holy place? (Ps 2,6; Ps 15,1)4He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully. (5Mo 10,12; Hi 22,30; Ps 31,6; Ps 73,1; Ps 119,37; Jes 33,15; Hes 18,6; Mi 6,8; Mt 5,8)5He will receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation. (1Mo 22,17; Ps 27,9; Ps 38,22; Ps 51,14; Ps 88,1; Jes 46,13; Jes 56,1)6Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob.[2] (Ps 14,5; Ps 27,8; Ps 105,4)7Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. (Ps 118,19; Jes 26,2; 1Kor 2,8)8Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord, mighty in battle! (2Mo 15,3)9Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.10Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! (Mal 1,14)
1The earth belongs to the LORD. And so does everything in it. The world belongs to him. And so do all those who live in it.2He set it firmly on the oceans. He made it secure on the waters.3Who can go up to the temple on the mountain of the LORD? Who can stand in his holy place?4Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart. Anyone who does not trust in the statue of a god. Anyone who doesn’t use the name of that god when he makes a promise.5People like that will receive the LORD’s blessing. When God their Saviour hands down his sentence, it will be in their favour.6The people who look to God are like that. God of Jacob, they look to you.7Open wide, you gates. Open up, you ancient doors. Then the King of glory will come in.8Who is the King of glory? The LORD, who is strong and mighty. The LORD, who is mighty in battle.9Open wide, you gates. Open wide, you ancient doors. Then the King of glory will come in.10Who is he, this King of glory? The LORD who rules over all. He is the King of glory.
