Psalms 24:6
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.
Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
