Psalms 24

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

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or 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.

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

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

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

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.

This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

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

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord 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 gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter 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? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
