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. To YHWH [is] the earth and its fullness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

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

For He has founded it on the seas, And He establishes it on the floods.

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

Who goes up into the hill of YHWH? And who rises up 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.

The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, Nor has sworn to deceit.

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

He carries away a blessing from YHWH, 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.

This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Your face, O 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 gates! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

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

Who [is] this—“the King of Glory?” YHWH—strong and mighty, YHWH, the 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! And be lifted up, O perpetual doors! And the King of Glory comes in!

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

Who [is] He—this “King of Glory?” YHWH of hosts—He [is] the King of Glory! (Selah)
