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 all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

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 the hill 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 inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor 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 favor from the God of his salvation.

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

This is the race of them that seek him; They that seek thy face are Jacob. (Pause)

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! Lift yourselves 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 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, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may 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?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
