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.

A Psalm by David. The earth is the LORD’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

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

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

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

Who may ascend to the LORD’s hill? Who may 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 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 have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, 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 those who seek Him, who seek your face—even 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, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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? The LORD 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 heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come 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 is the King of glory! (Selah)
