Psalms 24

1 For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

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

For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.

3 Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?

4 The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

5 He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.

He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! (Selah)

7 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

8 Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.

Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

10 Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.

Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)
