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
A song of David.
1The earth and everything on it belong to the Lord.
The world and all its people belong to him.
2He built the earth on the water.
He built it over the rivers.
3Who can go up on the Lord’s mountain#24:3 Lord’s mountain Mount Zion, the hill in Jerusalem where the Temple was built.?
Who can stand in his holy Temple?
4Only those who have not done evil,
who have pure hearts,
who have not used my name#24:4 my name Literally, “my soul.” to hide their lies,
and who have not made false promises.
5Good people ask the Lord to bless others.
They ask God, their Savior, to do good things.
6They try to follow God.
They go to the God of Jacob for help. Selah
7Gates, proudly lift your heads!
Open, ancient doors,
and the glorious King will come in.
8Who is the glorious King?
He is the Lord, the powerful soldier.
He is the Lord, the war hero.
9Gates, proudly lift your heads!
Open, ancient doors,
and the glorious King will come in.
10Who is the glorious King?
The Lord All-Powerful is the glorious King. Selah
