Psalms 24

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

“Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;

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

For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to 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 is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:

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

He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] 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 those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)

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

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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!

Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!

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

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