Psalms 24

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

A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

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

For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.

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

Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up 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 lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.

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

He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

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

This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O 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 gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

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

Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

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 gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!

10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Hosts is the King of glory! (Selah)

Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)
