< Psalms 24 >
1 The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.
A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up 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.
The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.
5 He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He carries away a blessing from YHWH, 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] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O 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.
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
8 Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the 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.
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
10 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)
