Psalms 24

The Earth Is the LORD’s

A Psalm of David.
The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof,*
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*
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.*
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
