Psalm 24
A psalm of David. 1 The L
ORD owns the earth and all it contains, the world and all who live in it.
2 For he set its foundation upon the seas, and established it upon the ocean currents.
3 Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the L
ORD? Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?
4 The one whose deeds are blameless and whose motives are pure, who does not lie, or make promises with no intention of keeping them.
5 Such godly people are rewarded by the L
ORD, and vindicated by the God who delivers them.
6 Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor, Jacob's descendants, who pray to him. (Selah)
7 Look up, you gates! Rise up, you eternal doors! Then the majestic king will enter!
8 Who is this majestic king? The L
ORD who is strong and mighty! The L
ORD who is mighty in battle!
9 Look up, you gates! Rise up, you eternal doors! Then the majestic king will enter!
10 Who is this majestic king? The L
ORD who commands armies! He is the majestic king! (Selah)
