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.

PSALM 24
Of David. A Psalm.
1The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2For it was he that founded it upon seas, and established it upon floods.
3Who shall ascend into the mount of Jehovah? and who shall stand in his holy place? 4He that hath blameless hands and a pure heart; who lifteth not up his soul unto vanity, nor sweareth deceitfully: 5He shall receive blessing from Jehovah, and righteousness from the God#GodHebrew: Elohim of his salvation. 6This is the generation of them that seek unto him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.
7Lift up your heads, ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. 8Who is this King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle. 9Lift up your heads, ye gates; yea, lift up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of glory shall come in. 10Who is he, this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
