Psalms 24

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

The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,

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

because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.

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

Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?

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

[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].

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

(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).

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

They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.

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

Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

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

[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!

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

Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

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

[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
