Psalms 24

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

A Psalm by David. The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

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

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

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

Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may 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 who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, 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 who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)

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, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh 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, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come 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? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! (Selah)
