Psalm 24
New International Version

### Psalm 24

#### Of David. A psalm.

1 The earth is theLord’s,(A)and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;(B)
2 for he founded it on the seas
and established it on the waters.(C)

3 Who may ascend the mountain(D)of theLord?
Who may stand in his holy place?(E)
4 The one who has clean hands(F)and a pure heart,(G)
who does not trust in an idol(H)
or swear by a false god.[a]

5 They will receive blessing(I)from theLord
and vindication(J)from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face,(K)God of Jacob.[b][c]

7 Lift up your heads, you gates;(L)
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King(M)of glory(N)may come in.(O)
8 Who is this King of glory?
TheLordstrong and mighty,(P)
theLordmighty in battle.(Q)
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
TheLordAlmighty(R)—
he is the King of glory.
