Psalms 24

Psalm 24

Of David. A psalm.

1 The earth is the Lord’s and all that it holds,
the world and those who live in it.
2 For he founded it on the seas,
and on the floods he sustains it.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The clean of hands, the pure of heart,
who sets not their heart upon sinful things,
nor swears with intent to deceive,
5 they win from the Lord a blessing:
God is their champion and saviour.
6 Such must be those who resort to him,
and seek the face of the God of Jacob. (Selah)

7 Lift high your heads, you gates ---
Higher, you ancient doors;
welcome the glorious king.
8 “Who is the glorious king?”
“The Lord strong and heroic,
the Lord heroic in battle.”

9 Lift high your heads, you gates ---
Higher, you ancient doors;
welcome the glorious king.
10 “Who is the glorious king?”
“The Lord, the God of hosts,
he is the glorious king.” (Selah)
