Psalm 24

The Great Kingⁿ

24^* The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord;

the earth and all who live on it are his.

²He built it on the deep waters beneath the earth

and laid its foundations in the ocean depths.

³Who has the right to go up the Lord’s hill?^o

Who may enter his holy Temple?

^4*Those who are pure in act and in thought,

who do not worship idols

or make false promises.

⁵The Lord will bless them and save them;

God will declare them innocent.

⁶Such are the people

who come to God, who come into the presence of the God of Jacob.

⁷Fling wide the gates,

open the ancient doors,

and the great king will come in.

⁸Who is this great king?

He is the Lord, strong and mighty,

the Lord, victorious in battle.

⁹Fling wide the gates,

open the ancient doors,

and the great king will come in.

¹⁰Who is this great king?

The triumphant Lord—he is the great king!
