Psalms 24

1 A Psalme of David. The earth is the Lordes, and all that therein is: the worlde and they that dwell therein.

A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

2 For he hath founded it vpon the seas: and established it vpon the floods.

For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

3 Who shall ascende into the mountaine of the Lord? and who shall stand in his holy place?

Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

4 Euen he that hath innocent handes, and a pure heart: which hath not lift vp his minde vnto vanitie, nor sworne deceitfully.

He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

5 He shall receiue a blessing from the Lord, and righteousnesse from the God of his saluation.

He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seeke him, of them that seeke thy face, this is Iaakob. (Selah)

This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift vp your heads ye gates, and be ye lift vp ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glory shall come in.

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

8 Who is this King of glorie? the Lord, strong and mightie, euen the Lord mightie in battell.

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

9 Lift vp your heads, ye gates, and lift vp your selues, ye euerlasting doores, and the King of glorie shall come in.

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? the Lord of hostes, he is the King of glorie. (Selah)

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
