Psalm 24 in Hebrew and English

1לְדָוִד מִזְמוֹר לַיהוָה הָאָרֶץ וּמְלוֹאָהּ תֵּבֵל וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָהּ׃

A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

2כִּי־הוּא עַל־יַמִּים יְסָדָהּ וְעַל־נְהָרוֹת יְכוֹנְנֶהָ׃

For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

3מִי־יַעֲלֶה בְהַר־יְהוָה וּמִי־יָקוּם בִּמְקוֹם קָדְשׁוֹ׃

Who shall ascend into the mountain of the LORD? And who shall stand in His holy place?

4נְקִי כַפַּיִם וּבַר־לֵבָב אֲשֶׁר לֹא־נָשָׂא לַשָּׁוְא נַפְשִׁי וְלֹא נִשְׁבַּע לְמִרְמָה׃

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.

5יִשָּׂא בְרָכָה מֵאֵת יְהוָה וּצְדָקָה מֵאֱלֹהֵי יִשְׁעוֹ׃

He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6זֶה דּוֹר דרשו [דֹּרְשָׁיו] מְבַקְשֵׁי פָנֶיךָ יַעֲקֹב סֶלָה׃

Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. Selah

7שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וְהִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבוֹא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד׃

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.

8מִי זֶה מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יְהוָה עִזּוּז וְגִבּוֹר יְהוָה גִּבּוֹר מִלְחָמָה׃

'Who is the King of glory?' 'The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.'

9שְׂאוּ שְׁעָרִים רָאשֵׁיכֶם וּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵי עוֹלָם וְיָבֹא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד׃

Lift up your heads, O ye gates, Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; That the King of glory may come in.

10מִי הוּא זֶה מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת הוּא מֶלֶךְ הַכָּבוֹד סֶלָה׃

'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The LORD of hosts; He is the King of glory.' Selah
