Psalms 24

1 David’s. A Melody. To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

A Psalm by David. The earth is the LORD’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.

2 For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.

3 Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

Who may ascend to the LORD’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?

4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart, —who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.

5 Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

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

6 This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. (Selah)

This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

8 Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

9 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.

10 Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. (Selah)

Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Hosts is the King of glory! (Selah)
