< Psalms 24 >
1 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness 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 has 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 hill 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.
He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive the 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)
This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek your 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, O all of you gates; and be all of you lift up, all of you 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? 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 all of you gates; even lift them up, all of you 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 this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
