Psalm 24 - The Earth Is the LORD's
A processional psalm declaring God's ownership of creation and welcoming the King of glory.
Psalm 24 opens by declaring that the earth and everything in it belong to the LORD, as summarized in Psalms 24:1. It then asks who may ascend God's holy hill, answering that only those with clean hands and a pure heart can stand in His presence.
A Psalm of David. The earth is HaShem'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
For He hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Who shall ascend into the mountain of HaShem? and who shall stand in His holy place?
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not taken My name in vain, and hath not sworn deceitfully.
He shall receive a blessing from HaShem, and righteousness from the G-d of his salvation.
Such is the generation of them that seek after Him, that seek Thy face, even Jacob. Selah
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
'Who is the King of glory?' 'The HaShem strong and mighty, HaShem mighty in battle.'
Lift up your heads, O ye gates, yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors; that the King of glory may come in.
'Who then is the King of glory?' 'The HaShem of hosts; He is the King of glory.' Selah
