Psalms 24

1 The song of Dauid. The erthe and the fulnesse therof is `the Lordis; the world, and alle that dwellen therynne `is the Lordis.

A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.

2 For he foundide it on the sees; and made it redi on floodis.

For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

3 Who schal stie in to the hil of the Lord; ethir who schal stonde in the hooli place of hym?

Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?

4 The innocent in hondis, and in cleene herte; whiche took not his soule in veyn, nether swoor in gile to his neiybore.

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.

5 `This man schal take blessyng of the Lord; and mercy of God his helthe.

He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generacioun of men sekynge hym; of men sekynge the face of God of Jacob.

Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob.

7 Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerelastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.

Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

8 Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord strong and myyti, the Lord myyti in batel.

Who is this King of Glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9 Ye princes, take vp youre yatis, and ye euerlastynge yatis, be reisid; and the kyng of glorie schal entre.

Lift up your heads, O gates! Be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of Glory may enter!

10 Who is this kyng of glorie? the Lord of vertues, he is the kyng of glorie.

Who is He, this King of Glory? The LORD of Hosts— He is the King of Glory.
