Psalm 24 - 26

« Psalm 23 | Psalms 24-26 | Psalm 27 »

The King of Glory

Of David. A Psalm.

The earth is Yahweh’s, as well as its fullness,

The world, and those who dwell in it.

For He has founded it upon the seas

And established it upon the rivers.

Who may ascend into the mountain of Yahweh?

And who may rise in His holy place?

He who has innocent hands and a pure heart,

Who has not lifted up his soul to worthlessness

And has not sworn deceitfully.

He shall lift up a blessing from Yahweh

And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

This is the generation of those who seek Him,

Who seek Your face—pay heed O Jacob. Selah.

Lift up your heads, O gates,

And be lifted up, O ancient doors,

That the King of glory may come in!

Who is this King of glory?

Yahweh strong and mighty,

Yahweh mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O gates,

And lift yourselves up, O ancient doors,

That the King of glory may come in!

Who is He, this King of glory?

Yahweh of hosts,

He is the King of glory. Selah.

Give Justice to Me, O Yahweh

Of David.

Give justice to me, O Yahweh, for I have walked in my integrity,

And I have trusted in Yahweh; I will not waver.

Test me, O Yahweh, and try me;

Refine my mind and my heart.

For Your lovingkindness is before my eyes,

And I have walked in Your truth.

I do not sit with worthless men,

And I will not go with pretenders.

I hate the assembly of evildoers,

And I will not sit with the wicked.

I shall wash my hands in innocence,

So I will go around Your altar, O Yahweh,

In order to proclaim with the voice of thanksgiving

And to recount all Your wondrous deeds.

O Yahweh, I love the habitation of Your house

And the place where Your glory dwells.

Do not take my soul away along with sinners,

Nor my life with men of bloodshed,

In whose hands is a wicked scheme,

And whose right hand is full of bribes.

But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity;

Redeem me, and be gracious to me.

My foot stands on level ground;

In the congregations I shall bless Yahweh.
