< Psalms 24 >
1 Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
The earth is Adonai’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.
2 For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.
For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?
Who may ascend to Adonai’s hill? Who may 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 who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive a blessing from Adonai, righteousness from the God of his yesha' ·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 who seek Him, who seek your face— even Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
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, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
Who is the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory]? Adonai strong and mighty, Adonai 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, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who is this Melek haKavod [King of Glory]? Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is the Melek haKavod [King of Glory]! (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
