Psalm 24

Pastor:  God claims all the Earth and everything in it, God claims the whole world and all who live on it.  For the Lord built it on Ocean foundations and laid it out on Rivers girders. 

Congregation: Who can climb the Mountain of God? Who can scale the holy peaks?  Only the clean-handed and pure-hearted; those who won't cheat or seduce. 

Pastor: God is at their side and with God's help they make it. This, O Listener, is what happens to those who seek after the heart of God.

Congregation: Wake up, you busy and distracted city! Wake up, you hurried and frazzled people! The King of Glory is ready to enter. 

Pastor: Who is this King of Glory, this mighty King of Glory? This is the God who had defeated evil and sin in the world. This is the Lord of Hosts. 

Congregation: Wake up, you busy and distracted city! Wake up, you hurried and frazzled people! The King of Glory is ready to enter.  We will turn our attention to the Lord God Almighty who saves us by his grace and turns sinners into saints.
