Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.

A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?

Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into 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 true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.

He will have blessing from the Lord, 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 whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may 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? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

9 Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory.

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
