< Psalms 24 >
1 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
2 For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.
For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.
3 Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?
Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place?
4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.
He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully:
5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! (Selah)
This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. (Selah)
7 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.
Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.
9 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)
Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
