Psalms 24

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

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

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

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

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in 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 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 carries away a blessing from YHWH, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] 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 that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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