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 by David. The earth is the LORD’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell 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 established 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 may ascend to the LORD’s hill? 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 has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has 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, 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 those who seek Him, who seek your 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, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will 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 is the King of glory! (Selah)
