Psalms 24

1 A psalm of David. The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.

A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

2 For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.

For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.

3 Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?

Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?

4 Those who have clean hands and pure minds, who don't worship idols, and who don't lie under oath.

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

5 They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.

He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. (Selah)

This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! (Selah)

7 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.

Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

9 Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!

Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

10 Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! (Selah)

Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)
