PSALM 24
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1The earth belongs unto the Lord,
and all that it contains;
The world that is inhabited,
and all that there remains.
2For the foundations thereof
he on the seas did lay,
And he hath it established
upon the floods to stay.
3Who is the man that shall ascend
into the hill of God?
Or who within his holy place
shall have a firm abode?
4Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure,
and unto vanity
Who hath not lifted up his soul,
nor sworn deceitfully.
5He from th' Eternal shall receive
the blessing him upon,
And righteousness, ev'n from the God
of his salvation.
6This is the generation
that after him enquire,
O Jacob, who do seek thy face
with their whole heart's desire.
7Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
8But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.
9Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
10But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.

Tehillim (Psa) 24

1By David. A psalm:
The earth is Adonai’s, with all that is in it,
the world and those who live there;
2for he set its foundations on the seas
and established it on the rivers.
3Who may go up to the mountain of Adonai?
Who can stand in his holy place?
4Those with clean hands and pure hearts,
who don’t make vanities the purpose of their lives
or swear oaths just to deceive.
5They will receive a blessing from Adonai
and justice from God, who saves them.
6Such is the character of those who seek him,
of Ya‘akov, who seeks your face. (Selah)
7Lift up your heads, you gates!
Lift them up, everlasting doors,
so that the glorious king can enter!
8Who is he, this glorious king?
Adonai, strong and mighty,
Adonai, mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, you gates!
Lift them up, everlasting doors,
so that the glorious king can enter!
10Who is he, this glorious king?
Adonai-Tzva’ot —
he is the glorious king. (Selah)
