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.

Psalms 24
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
