Psalms 24

1 On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

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 a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

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

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

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

8 Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

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

9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

10 Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.

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