Psalms 24
The earth and everything in it belongs to the Lord, who founded it upon the seas and rivers. Those who are innocent, have a clean heart, and have not sworn deceitfully will receive a blessing and mercy from the Lord. The Lord, who is strong and powerful, is the King of Glory, and He will enter through the eternal gates. The psalm concludes by affirming the Lord's virtue and declaring Him the King of Glory.
1For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it2For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers3Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place4The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor5He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Saviour6This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob7Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter8Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle9Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter10Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory
