Psalms 24

The Earth Is the LORD’s

1Of David, a psalm. To the LORD belong the earth and its fullness, the world and those who dwell in it.
2For he founded it upon the seas, and upon the rivers he established it.
3Who will ascend the mountain of the LORD? And who will stand in his holy place?
4Clean of hands and pure of heart, who has not lifted up his soul^a to falsehood, and has not sworn to deceit.
5He will receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6This is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, Jacob. Selah.
7Lift up your heads, O gates, and be lifted up, O everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in.
8Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
9Lift up your heads, O gates, and lift them up, O everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in.
10Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts^b, he is the King of glory. Selah.
