Psalms 24

1 A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.

3 Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:

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

He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Pause)

This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your gates, ye princes, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

8 Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your gates, ye princes; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall 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 this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.

Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
