Psalms 24
1 The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
“Of David a psalm.” Unto the Lord belongeth the earth with what filleth it, the world and they that dwell therein;
2 because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
For upon seas hath he founded it, and upon rivers hath he established it.
3 Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord? and who shall be able to stand in his holy place?
4 [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].
He that is of clean hands, and pure of heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, and hath not sworn deceitfully:
5 (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).
He shall bear away blessing from the Lord, and [the reward of] righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
This is the generation of those that adore him, that seek thy presence, [the sons of] Jacob. (Selah)
7 Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Raise your heads, O ye gates; and be raised wide, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
8 [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!
Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
Raise your heads, O ye gates; and raise [them] up, ye everlasting doors: and let the King of glory enter!
10 [Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
Who is then this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory. (Selah)
