Psalms 24

1 A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

Prima sabbati. Psalmus David. Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus; orbis terrarum, et universi qui habitant in eo.

2 He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

Quia ipse super maria fundavit eum, et super flumina præparavit eum.

3 Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

Quis ascendet in montem Domini? aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus?

4 He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

Innocens manibus et mundo corde, qui non accepit in vano animam suam, nec juravit in dolo proximo suo:

5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

hic accipiet benedictionem a Domino, et misericordiam a Deo salutari suo.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Pause)

Hæc est generatio quærentium eum, quærentium faciem Dei Jacob.

7 Lift up your gates, you princes, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portæ æternales, et introibit rex gloriæ.

8 Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Quis est iste rex gloriæ? Dominus fortis et potens, Dominus potens in prælio.

9 Lift up your gates, you princes; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portæ æternales, et introibit rex gloriæ.

10 Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.

Quis est iste rex gloriæ? Dominus virtutum ipse est rex gloriæ.
