Psalms 24

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

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

6 This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

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

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

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

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

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

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

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

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
