< Psalms 24 >
1 A Psalm by David. The earth is the LORD’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
The song of Dauid. The erthe and the fulnesse therof is `the Lordis; the world, and alle that dwellen therynne `is the Lordis.
2 For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
For he foundide it on the sees; and made it redi on floodis.
3 Who may ascend to the LORD’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
Who schal stie in to the hil of the Lord; ethir who schal stonde in the hooli place of hym?
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 innocent in hondis, and in cleene herte; whiche took not his soule in veyn, nether swoor in gile to his neiybore.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
`This man schal take blessyng of the Lord; and mercy of God his helthe.
6 This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)
This is the generacioun of men sekynge hym; of men sekynge the face of God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerelastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.
8 Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord strong and myyti, the Lord myyti in batel.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerlastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Hosts is the King of glory! (Selah)
Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord of vertues, he is the kyng of glorie.
