Psalm 24

The King of Glory

A psalm of David.

¹The earth and everything in it,

the world and its inhabitants,

belong to the Lord; ^a

²for he laid its foundation on the seas

and established it on the rivers. ^b

³Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?

Who may stand in his holy place? ^c

⁴The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, ^d

who has not appealed to ^e what is false, ^f

and who has not sworn deceitfully.

⁵He will receive blessing from the Lord, ^g

and righteousness ^h from the God of his salvation. ⁱ

⁶Such is the generation of those who inquire of him,

who seek the face of the God of Jacob. ^j,^k Selah

⁷Lift up your heads, you gates!

Rise up, ancient doors!

Then the King of glory will come in. ^l

⁸Who is this King of glory?

The Lord, strong and mighty,

the Lord, mighty in battle. ^m

⁹Lift up your heads, you gates!

Rise up, ancient doors!

Then the King of glory will come in.

¹⁰Who is he, this King of glory?

The Lord of Armies,

he is the King of glory. ⁿ Selah
