Psalm 24

New Coverdale Version

The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, * the compass of the world and those who dwell therein.

For he has founded it upon the seas * and established it upon the rivers of the deep.

Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? * Or who shall stand in his holy place?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, * and who has not set his mind upon vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbor.

He shall receive blessing from the Lord * and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is the generation of those who seek him, * even of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; * and the King of glory shall come in.

“Who is the King of glory?” * “It is the Lord, strong and mighty, even the Lord, mighty in battle.”

Lift up your heads, O you gates, and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; * and the King of glory shall come in.

“Who is the King of glory?” * “The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.”
