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 and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,

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

because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.

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

Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?

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

[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].

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

(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).

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

They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.

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

Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

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

[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!

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

Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

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

[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
