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 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 upon the hill 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 lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

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

He shall receive the 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.

This [is] the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy 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 ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

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 ye gates; even lift [them] up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

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

Who is this King of glory? the LORD of hosts, he [is] the King of glory. (Selah)
