Psalm 24:5-7
The Voice

5 The Eternal will stand close to them with blessing and mercy at hand,
    and the God who redeems will right what has been wrong.
6 These are the people who chase after Him;
    [like Jacob, they look for the face of God].[a]

[pause][b]

7 City gates—open wide!
    Ancient doors—stand back!
    For the glorious King shall soon pass your way.
