< Psalms 24 >
1 A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.
Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.
For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.
3 Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?
Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 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.
He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:
5 He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)
7 Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.
Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.
Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
9 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.
Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
