Tehillim 24
Orthodox Jewish Bible
24 long, forever). (Mizmor of Dovid) Ha’aretz is Hashem’s, and the fullness thereof; the tevel (world), and they that dwell therein.
2 For He hath founded it upon the yamim (seas), and established it upon the waters.
3 Who shall ascend the Har Hashem? Or who shall stand in His Makom Kodesh?
4 He that hath clean hands, and a bar levav (pure heart); who hath not lifted up his nefesh unto shahv (vanity), nor sworn l’mirmah (deceitfully).
5 He shall receive the brocha (blessing) from Hashem, and tzedakah from Elohei Yisho (the G-d of his Salvation).
6 This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy face, O Ya’akov. Selah.
7 Lift up your heads, O ye she’arim; and be ye lifted up, ye Pitchei Olam (everlasting doorways); and Melech HaKavod shall come in.
8 Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem strong and mighty, Hashem Gibbor Milchamah.
9 Lift up your heads, O ye she’arim; even lift them up, ye Pitchei Olam; and Melech HaKavod shall come in.
10 Who is this Melech HaKavod? Hashem Tzva’os, He is Melech HaKavod. Selah.
Psalm 24
Common English Bible
Psalm 24
A psalm of David.
24 The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it,
    the world and its inhabitants too.
2 Because God is the one who established it on the seas;
    God set it firmly on the waters.
3 Who can ascend the Lord’s mountain?
    Who can stand in his holy sanctuary?
4 Only the one with clean hands and a pure heart;
    the one who hasn’t made false promises,
    the one who hasn’t sworn dishonestly.
5 That kind of person receives blessings from the Lord
    and righteousness from the God who saves.
6 And that’s how things are
    with the generation that seeks him—
    that seeks the face of Jacob’s God.[a] Selah
7 Mighty gates: lift up your heads!
    Ancient doors: rise up high!
        So the glorious king can enter!
8 Who is this glorious king?
    The Lord—strong and powerful!
    The Lord—powerful in battle!
9 Mighty gates: lift up your heads!
    Ancient doors: rise up high!
        So the glorious king can enter!
10 Who is this glorious king?
    The Lord of heavenly forces—
        he is the glorious king! Selah
