Psalms 24

1 A Psalm by David. The earth is the LORD’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

“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 on the seas, and established it on the floods.

For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

3 Who may ascend to the LORD’s hill? Who may 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 the LORD, 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 Him, who seek your 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, you gates! Be lifted up, you 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? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you 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? The LORD of Armies is the King of glory! (Selah)

Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
