I love the uplifting beauty of this Psalm; the recognition of God's glory and grandeur. I love the question and answer in verses 3 and 4. "Clean hands and a pure heart" are all that are required to spend eternity with God. And, of couse, His forgiveness and grace are His free gift to us -- our "ticket" if you will to those clean hands and that pure heart ... Jesus already paid the price of admission.

1 The earth is the Lord's, and all that is in it, the world, and all who live in it. 2 For He has built it upon the seas. He has set it upon the rivers. 3 Who may go up the mountain of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart. He who has not lifted up his soul to what is not true, and has not made false promises. 5 He will receive what is good from the Lord, and what is right and good from the God Who saves him. 6 Such is the family of those who look for Him, who look for Your face, O God of Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, O gates. And be lifted up, O doors that last forever. And the King of shining-greatness will come in.

8 Who is the King of shining-greatness? The Lord strong and powerful. The Lord powerful in war. 9 Lift up your heads, O gates. Lift them up, O doors that last for-ever and the King of shining-greatness will come in. 10 Who is the King of shining-greatness? The Lord of All. He is the King of shining-greatness.
