Psalms 24

   |   

The Great King[a]

1 (a)The world and all that is in it belong to the Lord;
    the earth and all who live on it are his.
2 He built it on the deep waters beneath the earth
    and laid its foundations in the ocean depths.

3 Who has the right to go up the Lord's hill?[b]
    Who may enter his holy Temple?
4 (b)Those who are pure in act and in thought,
    who do not worship idols
    or make false promises.
5 The Lord will bless them and save them;
    God will declare them innocent.
6 Such are the people who come to God,
    who come into the presence of the God of Jacob.

7 Fling wide the gates,
    open the ancient doors,
    and the great king will come in.
8 Who is this great king?
He is the Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, victorious in battle.

9 Fling wide the gates,
    open the ancient doors,
    and the great king will come in.
10 Who is this great king?
The triumphant Lord—he is the great king!
