Psalms 24

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

The earth is Adonai’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

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

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

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

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

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

He shall receive a blessing from Adonai, righteousness from the God of his yesha' ·salvation·.

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 those who seek Him, who seek your face— even Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.

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

Who is the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory]? Adonai strong and mighty, Adonai 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, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.

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

Who is this Melek haKavod [King of Glory]? Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is the Melek haKavod [King of Glory]! (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
