Psalms 24

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

The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

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

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

Who shall ascend into the hill 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,

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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 your face, O Jacob. (Selah)

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 heads, O all of you gates; and be all of you lift up, all of 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 heads, O all of you gates; even lift them up, all of 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 the King of glory. (Selah)
