24
1 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 my soul* to falsehood†
or swear deceitfully.
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from the God of his deliverance.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, O 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
