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
Psalm 24
A psalm of David.
1The earth is the LORD’s and everything in it,
the world and its inhabitants too.
2Because God is the one who established it on the seas;
God set it firmly on the waters.
3Who can ascend the LORD’s mountain?
Who can stand in his holy sanctuary?
4Only the one with clean hands and a pure heart;
the one who hasn’t made false promises,
the one who hasn’t sworn dishonestly.
5That kind of person receives blessings from the LORD
and righteousness from the God who saves.
6And that’s how things are
with the generation that seeks him—
that seeks the face of Jacob’s God.#24.6 LXX, Syr; MT seek your face, Jacob Selah
7Mighty gates: lift up your heads!
Ancient doors: rise up high!
So the glorious king can enter!
8Who is this glorious king?
The LORD—strong and powerful!
The LORD—powerful in battle!
9Mighty gates: lift up your heads!
Ancient doors: rise up high!
So the glorious king can enter!
10Who is this glorious king?
The LORD of heavenly forces—
he is the glorious king! Selah
