Psalms 24
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
The earth is Jehovah's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell therein.
2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
For he has founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?
4 [Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
He who has clean hands, and a pure heart, who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
5 (They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
This is the generation of those who seek after him, who seek thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
8 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Lift up your heads, O ye gates. Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. (Selah)
