New International Version

Psalm 24

Of David. A psalm.

1 The earth is the Lord’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 the Lord?
    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 the Lord
    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?
    The Lord strong and mighty,(P)
    the Lord mighty 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?
    The Lord Almighty(R)—
    he is the King of glory.

La Bible du Semeur

L’Eternel entre dans son sanctuaire

24 Psaume de David.

La terre et ses richesses ╵appartiennent à l’Eternel.
L’univers est à lui ╵avec ceux qui l’habitent[a].
2 C’est lui qui a fondé ╵la terre sur les mers,
qui l’a établie fermement ╵au-dessus des cours d’eau.

3 Qui pourra accéder ╵au mont de l’Eternel ?
Qui pourra se tenir ╵dans sa demeure sainte ?
4 L’innocent aux mains nettes ╵et qui a le cœur pur,
qui ne se tourne pas ╵vers le mensonge[b],
et qui ne jure pas ╵pour tromper son prochain.
5 Celui qui vit ainsi ╵sera béni par l’Eternel,
il obtiendra justice ╵de son Dieu qui le sauve.
6 O Eternel, tel est le peuple ╵qui se tourne vers toi
et qui s’attache à toi, ╵Dieu de Jacob[c].
            Pause
7 Relevez vos frontons, ╵ô portes[d], haussez-vous, ╵vous, portes éternelles,
pour que le Roi glorieux ╵y fasse son entrée !
8 Qui est ce Roi glorieux ?
C’est l’Eternel, ╵le Fort et le Vaillant,
oui, l’Eternel, ╵vaillant dans les combats.
9 Relevez vos frontons, ╵ô portes, haussez-vous, ╵vous, portes éternelles,
pour que le Roi glorieux ╵y fasse son entrée !
10 Qui est ce Roi glorieux ?
Le Seigneur des armées célestes,
c’est lui le Roi glorieux.
            Pause
