Chapter 23

Who they are that shall ascend to heaven: Christ’s triumphant ascension thither.

1. 1

   On the first day of the week. A psalm for David. The 1earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

2. 2

   For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

3. 3

   Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

4. 4

   The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

5. 5

   He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Savior.

6. 6

   This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

7. 7

   Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8. 8

   Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

9. 9

   Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10. 10

    Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
