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 psalm of David.
1The earth is the Lord's, and everything that is in it belongs to him. The world is his, and everyone who lives there.
2For he is the one who laid its foundations on the seas, setting it in place on the waters.
3Who is allowed to go up the Lord's mountain? Who is permitted to stand in his holy place?
4Those who have clean hands#24:4. “Clean” in the sense of innocent and not guilty of sin. and pure minds, who don't worship idols,#24:4. “Don't worship idols” or “don't take the name of the Lord in vain.” and who don't lie under oath.
5They will take with them the blessing of the Lord, vindicated by the God who saves them.
6These are the kind of people who may go to the Lord and worship before you, God of Jacob. Selah.
7Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!
8Who is this King of glory? The Lord, strong and powerful, mighty in battle.
9Open up, you gates! Swing wide, you ancient doors! Let the King of glory come in!
10Who is this King of glory? The Lord Almighty, he is the King of glory! Selah.
