Psalms 24
The King of Glory
A psalm of David. ▼▼The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm
1The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness,the world and those who live in it,
2because he has founded it on the seas,
and has established it on the rivers.
3Who may ascend the mountain of Yahweh?
And who may stand in his holy place?
4He who is innocent of hands and pure of heart,
who does not lift up his soul to falseness,
and does not swear deceitfully.
5He will receive blessing from Yahweh,
and justice ▼
▼Or “vindication”
from the God of his salvation. 6Such is the sort of those who seek ▼
▼According to the reading tradition (Qere)
him,those who seek your face, even Jacob. Selah
7Lift up your heads, O gates,
and rise up, O ancient doorways,
that the king of glory ▼
▼Literally “the king of the glory”
may enter. 8Who is the king of glory? ▼
▼Literally “the king of the glory”
Yahweh, strong and mighty;
Yahweh, mighty in war!
9Lift up your heads, O gates,
and lift up, O ancient doorways,
that the king of glory ▼
▼Literally “the king of the glory”
may enter. 10Who is the king of glory? ▼
▼Literally “the king of the glory”
Yahweh of hosts,
He is the king of glory! ▼
▼Literally “the king of the glory”
Selah
