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, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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

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

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

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall 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 hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He carries away a blessing from YHWH, 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] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O Jacob! (Selah)

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

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

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—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the mighty in battle.

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, mighty in battle.

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

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

10 Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH 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)
