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. Selah.
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. Selah.

1 A psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s and all it holds, the world and those who dwell in it.

2 For he founded it on the seas, established it over the rivers.

3 Who may go up the mountain of the LORD? Who can stand in his holy place?

4 “The clean of hand and pure of heart, who has not given his soul to useless things, what is vain.

5 He will receive blessings from the LORD, and justice from his saving God.

6 Such is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.”

7 Lift up your heads, O gates; be lifted, you ancient portals, that the king of glory may enter.

8 Who is this king of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD, mighty in war.

9 Lift up your heads, O gates; rise up, you ancient portals, that the king of glory may enter.

10 Who is this king of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the king of glory.

This Psalm of David is preparation for entrance of the “King of glory”, v 7-10.  Those who ascend to His holy place must have clean hands and a pure heart, v 3,4. This probably refers to the occasion of David returning the Ark of the Covenant to the temple in Jerusalem or the return from some victory in battle.
