Psalms 24

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

“A psalm of David.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

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

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And 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 hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor 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 race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

7 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 ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, 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?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, 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 ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!

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

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
