< Psalms 24 >
1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.
The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.
2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?
Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.
He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.
This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)
7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!
Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory.
Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. (Selah)
