< Psalms 24 >
1 Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
2 For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.
For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?
Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up 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:
The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.
5 He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He carries away a blessing from YHWH, 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] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O 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.
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
8 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!
10 Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)
