Psalms 24

1Of David. A Psalm. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods. 3Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place? 4He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully: 5He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from theGod of his salvation. 6This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah. 7Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. 8Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle. 9Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. 10Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
