Psalmorum 24

1 Prima sabbati. Psalmus David. [Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus; orbis terrarum, et universi qui habitant in eo.

“A psalm of David.” The earth is the LORD'S, and all that is therein; The world, and they who inhabit it.

2 Quia ipse super maria fundavit eum, et super flumina præparavit eum.

For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

3 Quis ascendet in montem Domini? aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus?

Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Innocens manibus et mundo corde, qui non accepit in vano animam suam, nec juravit in dolo proximo suo:

He that hath clean hands and a pure heart; Who hath not inclined his soul to falsehood, Nor sworn deceitfully.

5 hic accipiet benedictionem a Domino, et misericordiam a Deo salutari suo.

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, And favor from the God of his salvation.

6 Hæc est generatio quærentium eum, quærentium faciem Dei Jacob.

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

7 Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portæ æternales, et introibit rex gloriæ.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may come in!

8 Quis est iste rex gloriæ? Dominus fortis et potens, Dominus potens in prælio.

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, strong and mighty; Jehovah, mighty in battle.

9 Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portæ æternales, et introibit rex gloriæ.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates! Lift yourselves up, ye everlasting doors, That the king of glory may enter in!

10 Quis est iste rex gloriæ? Dominus virtutum ipse est rex gloriæ.]

“Who is this king of glory?” Jehovah, God of hosts, he is the king of glory. (Pause)
