Psalms 24

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

A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. A Psalm for David on the first day of the week. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof; the world, and all that dwell in it.

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

He has founded it upon the seas, and prepared it upon the rivers.

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

Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord, and who shall stand in his holy place?

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

He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

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

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

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

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

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

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be you lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

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

Who is this king of Glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

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

Lift up your gates, you princes; and be you lift up, you everlasting doors; and the king of glory shall come in.

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

Who is this king of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is this king of glory.
