Psalms Chapter 24 (ROTHERHAM)
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 To Yahweh, belongeth, The earth and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

2 For, he, upon the seas, hath founded it, and upon the currents, doth make it firm.

3 Who shall ascend the mountain of Yahweh? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4 The clean of hands, and pure of heart,—who hath not uplifted, to falsehood, his soul, nor sworn deceitfully,

5 Shall bear away a blessing from Yahweh, and righteousness, from his delivering God.

6 This, is the generation of them who inquire of him, who seek thy face, O God of Jacob. [Selah.]

7 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, and lift yourselves up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

8 Who is the king of glory? Yahweh, strong and mighty, Yahweh, mighty in war.

9 Lift up, O ye gates, your heads, yea lift [them] up, ye age-abiding doors, That the king of glory may come in.

10 Who then is the king of glory? Yahweh of hosts, He, is the king of glory. [Selah.]
