Chapter 24

The Earth Is the LORD’s

A Psalm of David.

1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, [a]

the world and all who dwell therein.

2 For He has founded it upon the seas

and established it upon the waters.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD?

Who may stand in His holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,

who does not lift up his soul to an idol [b]

or swear deceitfully.

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD

and vindication from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him,

who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. [c]

Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O gates!

Be lifted up, O ancient doors,

that the King of Glory may enter!

8 Who is this King of Glory?

The LORD strong and mighty,

the LORD mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O gates!

Be lifted up, O ancient doors,

that the King of Glory may enter!

10 Who is He, this King of Glory?

The LORD of Hosts—

He is the King of Glory.

Selah
