Psalm 24

1Jehovah’s is the earth, and the fullness thereof; The world, and those who dwell therein.

2For he upon the seas hath founded it, And upon the floods he hath arranged it.

3Who shall ascend into the mountain of Jehovah? Who shall stand in the place of his holiness?

4He who is clean in hands and pure in heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, And hath not sworn deceitfully.

5He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6This is the generation of those who seek him, Of those who seek thy face, O Jacob! Selah.

7Lift up, O ye gates! your heads, And be ye lifted up, ye doors everlasting! And enter shall the King of Glory.

8Who is this King of Glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in power.

9Lift up, O ye gates! your heads, Lift up, I say, ye doors everlasting! And enter shall the King of Glory.

10Who is this King of Glory? Jehovah of armies — He is the King of Glory. Selah.
