Psalms 24

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

לְדָוִ֗ד מִ֫זְמֹ֥ור לַֽ֭יהוָה הָאָ֣רֶץ וּמְלֹואָ֑הּ תֵּ֝בֵ֗ל וְיֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃

2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.

כִּי־ה֖וּא עַל־יַמִּ֣ים יְסָדָ֑הּ וְעַל־נְ֝הָרֹ֗ות יְכֹונְנֶֽהָ׃

3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?

מִֽי־יַעֲלֶ֥ה בְהַר־יְהוָ֑ה וּמִי־יָ֝קוּם בִּמְקֹ֥ום קָדְשֹֽׁו׃

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].

נְקִ֥י כַפַּ֗יִם וּֽבַר־לֵ֫בָ֥ב אֲשֶׁ֤ר ׀ לֹא־נָשָׂ֣א לַשָּׁ֣וְא נַפְשִׁ֑י וְלֹ֖א נִשְׁבַּ֣ע לְמִרְמָֽה׃

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).

יִשָּׂ֣א בְ֭רָכָה מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה מֵאֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעֹֽו׃

6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.

זֶ֭ה דֹּ֣ור דֹּרְשֹׁו (דֹּרְשָׁ֑יו) מְבַקְשֵׁ֨י פָנֶ֖יךָ יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃

7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים ׀ רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וְֽ֭הִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עֹולָ֑ם וְ֝יָבֹ֗וא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֹֽוד׃

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!

מִ֥י זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫בֹ֥וד יְ֭הוָה עִזּ֣וּז וְגִבֹּ֑ור יְ֝הוָ֗ה גִּבֹּ֥ור מִלְחָמָֽה׃

9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!

שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים ׀ רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וּ֭שְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עֹולָ֑ם וְ֝יָבֹא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֹֽוד׃

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

מִ֤י ה֣וּא זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫בֹ֥וד יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֑ות ה֤וּא מֶ֖לֶךְ הַכָּבֹ֣וד סֶֽלָה׃
