Psalms 24

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

“A psalm of David.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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

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

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

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And 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:

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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 favor from the God of his salvation.

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

This is the race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

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

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, 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 heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may 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?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
