Psalm 24

The King of Glory

24A Psalm of David.

^1vThe earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,¹

the world and those who dwell therein,

²for he has ^wfounded it upon ^xthe seas

and established it upon the rivers.

^3yWho shall ascend the hill of the Lord?

And who shall stand in his ^zholy place?

^4aHe who has ^bclean hands and ^ca pure heart,

who does not ^dlift up his soul to ^ewhat is false

and does not swear deceitfully.

⁵He will receive ^fblessing from the Lord

and ^grighteousness from ^hthe God of his salvation.

⁶Such is ⁱthe generation of those who seek him,

who ^jseek the face of the God of Jacob.² Selah

^7kLift up your heads, O gates!

And be lifted up, O ancient doors,

that ^lthe King of glory may come in.

⁸Who is this King of glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty,

the Lord, ^mmighty in battle!

⁹Lift up your heads, O gates!

And lift them up, O ancient doors,

that the King of glory may come in.

¹⁰Who is this King of glory?

ⁿThe Lord of hosts,

he is the King of glory! Selah
