Psalms 24
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
David’s. A Melody. To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they 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, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.
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 the mountain of Yahweh? 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].
The clean of hands, and pure of heart, —who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor 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).
Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.
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 them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding 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? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding 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? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. (Selah)
