Psalms 24

1 “A psalm of David.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

David’s. A Melody. To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

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

For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

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

Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

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

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, —who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor from the God of his salvation.

Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

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

This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

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

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

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

Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

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

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

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

Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. (Selah)
