Psalms 24

1 [A Psalm by David.] The earth is the LORD's, and its fullness; the world, and those who dwell 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 established it on the floods.

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

3 Who may ascend to the LORD's hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, 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 the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

7 Lift up your heads, you gates. Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come 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 the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.

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

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come 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 this King of glory? The LORD of hosts is the King of glory. (Selah)

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
