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.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

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

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall 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 hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor 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 race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

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 ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, 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 ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
