Psalms 24

1A Psalm of David. To Jehovah is the earth and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it. 2For He on the seas hath founded it, And on the floods He doth establish it. 3Who goeth up into the hill of Jehovah? And who riseth up in His holy place? 4The clean of hands, and pure of heart, Who hath not lifted up to vanity his soul, Nor hath sworn to deceit. 5He beareth away a blessing from Jehovah, Righteousness from the God of his salvation. 6This is a generation of those seeking Him. Seeking Thy face, O Jacob! Selah. 7Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! 8Who is this--`the king of glory?' Jehovah--strong and mighty, Jehovah, the mighty in battle. 9Lift up, O gates, your heads, And be lifted up, O doors age-during, And come in doth the king of glory! 10Who is He--this `king of glory?' Jehovah of hosts--He is the king of glory! Selah.
