The earth is the Lord's

1
For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.(a)
2
For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.
3
Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?
4
The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.
5
He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.
6
This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.
7
Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.
8
Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.
9
Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.
10
Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.

(a)23:1 There are two First Sabbaths. The first of the First Sabbaths is the Sabbath during the Feast of Passover. After that Sabbath, the counting of the Feast of Weeks begins with the very next day. The first week in the counting of the Feast of Weeks ends with the second First Sabbath, that is, the First Sabbath in the count of Seven Sabbaths leading up to the Feast of Weeks. Because there was no clear concept of a number zero (which would, in modern counting be the first Sabbath of Passover), there must be two first Sabbaths.(Conte)
