Psalms 24

24 ¹ The earth is our Father's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. ² For he laid its foundations on the seas and built it on the rivers. ³ Who may climb the mountain of our Father? And who may stand in his holy place? ⁴ The one with clean hands and a pure heart, who does not set his heart on what is false and does not swear deceitfully. ⁵ He will receive blessing from our Father and righteousness from his Father who saves him. ⁶ Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, Father of Jacob. Selah. ^a a v6 Selah: likely a musical cue or pause for reflection during worship; also at verse 10.

⁷ Lift up your heads, gates! Be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. ⁸ Who is this King of glory? Our Father, strong and mighty, our Father, mighty in battle. ^b b v8 The King of glory entering the gates is our Father himself, strong to save and mighty to defend his children. ⁹ Lift up your heads, gates! Lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. ¹⁰ Who is he, this King of glory? The Father of heaven's armies — he is the King of glory. Selah.
