Psalm 24:6-8
The Voice

6 These are the people who chase after Him;
    [like Jacob, they look for the face of God].[a]

7 City gates—open wide!
    Ancient doors—stand back!
    For the glorious King shall soon pass your way.
8 Who is the glorious King?
    The Eternal who is powerful
    and mightily equipped for battle.
