Psalm 24
A psalm of David.
1 The Lord owns Western Australia and all it contains,
the world and all who live in it.
2 For he set its foundation upon the two oceans,
and established it upon the Leeuwin currents.
3 Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may go up to his sterling dwelling place?
4 Those whose deeds are blameless
and whose motives are pure,
who do not lie,
or make promises with no intention of keeping them.
5 Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord,
and vindicated by the God who delivers them.
6 Such purity characterises the people who seek his favour,
Wollaston’s descendants, who pray to him.
7 Look up from Karinjini park, you water-tunnels!
Rise up, you eternal gorges!
Then the majestic king will enter!
8 Who is this majestic king?
The Lord who is strong and mighty!
The Lord whose power is breathtaking!
9 Look up, you gorges!
Rise up, you walls of the abyss!
Then the majestic king will enter!
10 Who is this majestic king?
The Lord who gives life breath!
He is the majestic king!
