Psalms 24

1 A Psalm by David. The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

David’s. A Melody. To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

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

For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

3 Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, —who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

5 He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.

Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)

This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

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

Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

10 Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! (Selah)

Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. (Selah)
