Psalm 24

1        The earth belongs unto the Lord,

                   and all that it contains;

          The world that is inhabited,

                   and all that there remains.

2        For the foundations thereof

                   he on the seas did lay,

          And he hath it established

                   upon the floods to stay.

3        Who is the man that shall ascend

                   into the hill of God?

          Or who within his holy place

                   shall have a firm abode?

4        Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure,

                   and unto vanity

          Who hath not lifted up his soul,

                   nor sworn deceitfully.

5        He from th' Eternal shall receive

                   the blessing him upon,

          And righteousness, ev'n from the God

                   of his salvation.

6        This is the generation

                   that after him enquire,

          O Jacob, who do seek thy face

                   with their whole heart's desire.

7        Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;

                   ye doors that last for aye,

          Be lifted up, that so the King

                   of glory enter may.

8        But who of glory is the King?

                   The mighty Lord is this;

          Ev'n that same Lord, that great in might

                   and strong in battle is.

9        Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,

                   doors that do last for aye,

          Be lifted up, that so the King

                   of glory enter may.

10      But who is he that is the King

                   of glory? who is this?

          The Lord of hosts, and none but he,

                   the King of glory is.
