Psalms 24

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

“Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

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

For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?

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

He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

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

He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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

Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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

Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
