A Psalm of David
WHEN DAVID BROUGHT THE ARK TO JERUSALEM
WHEN DAVID BROUGHT THE ARK TO JERUSALEM
The happiest moment in David's life was the time when he captured Jerusalem and brought the Ark of the Covenant there. A great procession of priests and Levites sang as choruses answering each other, in celebration of the notable event. David describes the qualities that the true worshiper ought to have when he comes into God's presence
First Choir:
The earth is the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof the world, and they that dwell therein.
Second Choir:
For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
First Choir:
Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? Or who shall stand in his holy place?
Second Choir:
He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who have not lifted up his
soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your
face, O Jacob. Selah.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye
everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the
LORD mighty in battle.
Chorus of Priests:
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
