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.

David’s. A Melody. To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

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

For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

3 Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? 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.

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, —who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

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

Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

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 who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of 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, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

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, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

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

Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. (Selah)
