Psalm 24

The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it:
the compass of the world and those that dwell therein.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas:
and established it upon the waters.

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

4 those who have clean hands and a pure heart:
who have not set their soul upon idols, nor sworn their oath to a lie.

5 They shall receive blessing from the Lord:
and recompense from the God of their salvation.

6 Of such a kind as this are those who seek him.
those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors:
and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Who is the King of glory?:
The Lord, strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors:
and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is the King of glory?:
the Lord of Hosts, he is the King of glory.

"The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it."
This is the glory of the Lord…


God our deliverer, whose approaching birth still shakes the foundations of the world:
may we so wait for your coming with eagerness and hope
that we embrace without terror the labour pangs of the new age,
through Jesus Christ. Amen.
