Psalms 24

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

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or 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.

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, you gates. Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8 Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord 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 gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10 Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts is the King of glory. (Selah)

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
