Psalms 24:7

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah

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.

9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
