Psalms 24

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

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

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

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

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

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, 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, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

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, 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? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

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