Psalms 24

1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,

A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that 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 hath 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 mountain of the LORD? 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 that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath 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 the LORD, 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.

Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that 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; that the King of glory may 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?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD 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; that the King of glory may come in.

10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!

'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)
