My favourite psalm, possibly.

Psalm 24.
1] The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2] For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3] Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
4] He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5] He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6] This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob.
7] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
8] Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
10] Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory.
