< Psalms 24 >
1 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'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 He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
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? 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 clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.
5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! (Selah)
Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even 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, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.
'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD 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 heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)
'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' (Selah)
