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. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

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

For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.

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

Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up 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 clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.

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

He carries away a blessing from YHWH, 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] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O 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 gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

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

Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the 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 gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

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

Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)
