Representative Text

1 The earth and the riches with which it is stored,

For He on the seas its foundation has laid,
And firm on the waters its pillars has stayed.

2 O who shall the mount of Jehovah ascend?
Or who in the Place of His holiness stand?

3 O gates, lift your heads! Ageless doors, lift them high!
The great King of Glory to enter draws nigh.
This great King of Glory, O Who can He be?
The LORD, mighty LORD, king of Glory is He!
