Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

2 For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall stand in His holy place?

Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up in His holy place?

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

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

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

He carries away a blessing from YHWH, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

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

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

Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

8 'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.'

Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

10 'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)

Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)
