Psalms 24
1 A Psalm of David. To Jehovah [is] the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.
The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
2 For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it.
because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
3 Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place?
Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit.
[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
5 He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation.
(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
6 This [is] a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! (Selah)
They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
7 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
8 Who [is] this — 'the king of glory?' Jehovah — strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle.
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
9 Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory!
Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
10 Who [is] He — this 'king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts — He [is] the king of glory! (Selah)
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
