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 Adonai’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.

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

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

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

Who may ascend to Adonai’s hill? Who may 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 who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from Adonai, righteousness from the God of his yesha' ·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 those who seek Him, who seek your face— even Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.

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, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.

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

Who is the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory]? Adonai strong and mighty, Adonai 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, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the Melek haKavod [King of Weighty glory] will come in.

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

Who is this Melek haKavod [King of Glory]? Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies] is the Melek haKavod [King of Glory]! (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
