< Psalms 24 >
1 “Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;
2 For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.
3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to 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:
5 He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness 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)
7 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord 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!
10 Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
