Psalms 24

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

“Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

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

For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in 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 that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

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

He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] 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 that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons 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.

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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

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

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

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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

Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
