Psalm 24 Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 24

The King of Glory

A psalm of David.

¹The earth and everything in it,
the world and its inhabitants,
belong to the Lord;^(A)
²for he laid its foundation on the seas
and established it on the rivers.^(B)

³Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in his holy place?^(C)
⁴The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,^(D)
who has not appealed to^[a] what is false,^(E)
and who has not sworn deceitfully.
⁵He will receive blessing from the Lord,^(F)
and righteousness^[b] from the God of his salvation.^(G)
⁶Such is the generation of those who inquire of him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.^[c]^(H)Selah

⁷Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.^(I)
⁸Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, mighty in battle.^(J)
⁹Lift up your heads, you gates!
Rise up, ancient doors!
Then the King of glory will come in.
¹⁰Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord of Armies,
he is the King of glory.^(K)Selah
