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 fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

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

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? and who shall 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 that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness 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 them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. (Selah)

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 ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

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

'Who is the 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 ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

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

'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)
