Psalms 24

1 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

2 For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.

For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or 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.

The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.

He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! (Selah)

This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

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 gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8 Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord 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 gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10 Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)

Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
