Psalm 24

    Of David. A psalm.
 1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
   the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it upon the seas
   and established it upon the waters.
 3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD?
   Who may stand in his holy place?
4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
   who does not lift up his soul to an idol
   or swear by what is false.[a]
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD
   and vindication from God his Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
   who seek your face, O God of Jacob.[b]
                         Selah
 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
   be lifted up, you ancient doors,
   that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
   The LORD strong and mighty,
   the LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates;
   lift them up, you ancient doors,
   that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
   The LORD Almighty—
   he is the King of glory.
                         Selah
