Berean Standard Bible
Chapter summary
The psalm opens by declaring that the earth, its fullness, and all its inhabitants belong to the Lord, who established it upon the waters. It then poses the question of who may ascend the hill of the Lord and stand in His holy place. The text answers that only those with clean hands, pure hearts, and who neither lift up their souls to idols nor swear deceitfully will receive blessing and vindication from God. These individuals are identified as the generation of those who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Finally, the psalm calls upon gates and ancient doors to lift up their heads so that the King of Glory may enter. When asked who the King of Glory is, the text identifies Him as the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle, and ultimately as the Lord of Hosts.
