Psalms 24

1 THE earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

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

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

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place?

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

4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

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

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

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)

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

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall 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 mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

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

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall 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 of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

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