Verse 7 is found in chapter 24 of Psalms. Psalm 24 begins with a cosmic affirmation: the earth belongs to the Lord because he founded it. From there it asks who may ascend the holy mountain and answers with clean hands, a pure heart, and rejection of falsehood. The final section adopts processional language around the King of glory, connecting entrance into the sanctuary with the universal sovereignty of God.

Machet die Tore weit und die Türen in der Welt hoch, daß der König der Ehren einziehe!
Alzad, oh puertas, vuestras cabezas, Y alzaos vosotras, puertas eternas, Y entrará el Rey de gloria.
¡Puertas, alcen sus cabezas! ¡Álcense, entradas eternas, para que entre el Rey de gloria!
Portes, élevez vos linteaux; Elevez-vous, portes éternelles! Que le roi de gloire fasse son entrée! -
O porte, alzate i vostri capi; E voi, porte eterne, alzatevi; E il Re di gloria entrerà.
Levantai, ó portas, as vossas cabeças; levantai-vos, ó entradas eternas, e entrará o Rei da Glória.
眾城門哪,要抬起頭來! 永久的門戶啊,你們要被舉起! 榮耀的王將要進來!
