Psalms 24
The King of Glory
A Psalm of David.
1 (a)The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof,[a]
the world and those who dwell therein,
2 for he has (b)founded it upon (c)the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
3 (d)Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his (e)holy place?
4 (f)He who has (g)clean hands and (h)a pure heart,
who does not (i)lift up his soul to (j)what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive (k)blessing from the Lord
and (l)righteousness from (m)the God of his salvation.
6 Such is (n)the generation of those who seek him,
who (o)seek the face of the God of Jacob.[b] Selah
7 (p)Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that (q)the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, (r)mighty in battle!
9 Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is this King of glory?
(s)The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah
