as a pledge of our future glory.
Let us be glad, alleluia!

These shall receive a blessing from the Lord,
a reward from the God who saves them:

The world and all its people,
It is he who set it on the seas;
On the waters he made it firm.

Who shall climb the mountain of the Lord?
Who shall stand in his holy place?
Those with clean hands and pure heart,
Who desire not worthless things.

And reward from the God who saves them.
Such are the ones who seek him,
Seek the face of the God of Jacob.

Reach up, you, ancient doors,
That the king of glory may enter.
O gates, lift high your heads.

The Lord, the mighty, the valiant,
The Lord, the valiant in war,
He is the King of glory!
Verse 6
Who is the King of glory?
He, the Lord of armies,
The Lord, the valiant in war,
He is the king of glory!
