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 by David.] The earth is YHWH's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell 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 established it on the floods.

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

Who may ascend to YHWH's hill? Who may 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 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 the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of 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, you gates. Be lifted up, you 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? YHWH strong and mighty, YHWH 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, you gates; lift them up, you 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? YHWH of hosts is the King of glory. (Selah)
