Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. The earth [is] the LORD'S, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

“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 hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

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

3 Who shall ascend upon the hill of the LORD? and who shall stand in his holy place?

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

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

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, 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 This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)

This is the race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall 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? the LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall 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? the LORD 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)
