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.

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 by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

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

3 Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into 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 true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

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 have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

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 him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

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

10 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
