Psalms 24

1 A psalm of David. The earth is Yahweh's, and its fullness, the world, and all who live in it.

The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 For he has founded it upon the seas and established it on the rivers.

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

3 Who will ascend the mountain of Yahweh? Who will stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up a falsehood, and has not sworn an oath in order to deceive.

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He will receive a blessing from Yahweh and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him, those who seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your face, O Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

8 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty; Yahweh, mighty in battle.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; be lifted up, everlasting doors, so that the King of glory may come in!

Lift up your heads, O you gates; even lift them up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
