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

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 established it upon the floods.

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

Who shall ascend the hill 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 hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor 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 race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are 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 heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, 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 ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may 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?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
