< Psalms 24 >

1 “Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;
A Psalm by David. The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
2 For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.
For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?
Who may ascend to Yahweh’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
4 He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not 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 He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.
He shall receive a blessing from Yahweh, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)
This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. (Selah)
7 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
Who is the King of glory? Yahweh strong and mighty, Yahweh mighty in battle.
9 Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory! (Selah)
