Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.

A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.

He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, [even] Jacob. (Selah)

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.
