< Psalms 24 >

1 The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.
“Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;
2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:
5 He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)
This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)
7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
8 Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
10 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
