Psalms 24 AMPC

1. THE EARTH is the Lord's, and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in it. [I Cor. 10:26.]

2. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the currents and the rivers.

3. Who shall go up into the mountain of the Lord? Or who shall stand in His Holy Place?

4. He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not lifted himself up to falsehood or to what is false, nor sworn deceitfully. [Matt. 5:8.]

5. He shall receive blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6. This is the generation [description] of those who seek Him [who inquire of and for Him and of necessity require Him], who seek Your face, [O God of] Jacob. Selah [pause, and think of that]! [Ps. 42:1.]

7. Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in.

8. Who is the King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

9. Lift up your heads, O you gates; yes, lift them up, you age-abiding doors, that the King of glory may come in.

10. Who is [He then] this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah [pause, and think of that]!
