Psalms 24
Of David
1 To Yahweh belong earth and all it holds, the world and all who live in it;
2 he himself founded it on the ocean, based it firmly on the nether sea
3 Who has the right to climb the mountain of Yahweh, who the right to stand in his holy place?
4 He whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure, whose soul does not pay homage to worthless things and who never swears to a lie.
5 The blessing of Yahweh is his, and Vindication from God his saviour.
6 Such are the people who seek him, who seek your presence, God of Jacob! (pause)
7 Gates, raise your arches, rise, you ancient doors, let the king of glory in!
8 Who is this king of glory? Yahweh the strong, the valiant, Yahweh valiant in battle!
9 Gates, raise your arches, rise you ancient doors, let the king of glory in!
10 Who is this king of glory? He is Yahweh Sabaoth, King of glory, he! (pause)
