Psalms 24



24

A song of David.[129]

<1> The earth and everything on it belong to the Lord.

The world and all its people belong to him.

<2> He built the earth on the water.

He built it over the rivers.

<3> Who can go up the Lord's mountain[130]?

Who can stand in his holy Temple?

<4> Only those who have not done evil,

who have pure hearts,

who have not used my name[131] to hide their lies,

and who have not made false promises.

<5> Good people ask the Lord to bless others.

They ask God, their Savior, to do good things.

<6> They try to follow God.

They go to the God of Jacob[132] for help.

Selah[133]

<7> Gates, lift up your heads!

Open, ancient doors,

and the glorious King will come in.

<8> Who is the glorious King?

He is the Lord, the powerful soldier.

He is the Lord, the war hero.

<9> Gates, lift up your heads!

Open, ancient doors,

and the glorious King will come in.

<10> Who is the glorious King?

The Lord All-Powerful is the glorious King.
