< Psalms 24 >
1 Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
The song of Dauid. The erthe and the fulnesse therof is `the Lordis; the world, and alle that dwellen therynne `is the Lordis.
2 For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.
For he foundide it on the sees; and made it redi on floodis.
3 Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?
Who schal stie in to the hil of the Lord; ethir who schal stonde in the hooli place of hym?
4 He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:
The innocent in hondis, and in cleene herte; whiche took not his soule in veyn, nether swoor in gile to his neiybore.
5 He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
`This man schal take blessyng of the Lord; and mercy of God his helthe.
6 This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)
This is the generacioun of men sekynge hym; of men sekynge the face of God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerelastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.
8 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord strong and myyti, the Lord myyti in batel.
9 Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerlastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.
10 Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord of vertues, he is the kyng of glorie.
