Psalms 24

1 A PSALM OF DAVID. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

2 For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.

For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

3 Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up in His holy place?

Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

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

He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

5 He carries away a blessing from YHWH, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

8 Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the mighty in battle.

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

9 Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

10 Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)

Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
