Psalm 24
A Davidic psalm.
1 The earth and everything in it,
the world and its inhabitants,
belong to the Lord; w
2 for He laid its foundation on the seas
and established it on the rivers. x
3 Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in His holy place? y
4 The one who has * clean hands and a pure heart, z
who has not set his mind a on what is false, b
and who has not sworn deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the Lord, c
and righteousness from the God of his salvation. d
6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob. e f * Selah
7 Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in. g
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle. h
9 Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.
10 Who is He, this King of glory?
The Lord of * Hosts,
He is the King of glory. i Selah
