< 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 Adonai’s, with its fullness; 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 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 Adonai’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 Adonai, righteousness from the God of his yesha' ·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 your face— even Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
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 Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.
8 Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Who is the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory]? Adonai strong and mighty, Adonai 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; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty 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 Melek haKavod [King of Glory]? Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is the Melek haKavod [King of Glory]! (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
