Psalms 24
24
(A psalm by David.)
Who Can Enter the Lord's Temple?
1 #
1 Co 10.26. The earth and everything on it,
including its people,
belong to the Lord.
The world and its people
belong to him.
2The Lord placed it all
on the oceans and rivers.
3Who may climb the Lord's hill#24.3 the Lord's hill: The hill in Jerusalem where the temple was built.
or stand in his holy temple?
4 #
Mt 5.8. Only those who do right
for the right reasons,
and don't worship idols
or tell lies under oath.
5The Lord God, who saves them,
will bless and reward them,
6because they worship and serve
the God of Jacob.#24.6 worship … Jacob: Two ancient translations; Hebrew “worship God and serve the descendants of Jacob.”
7Open the ancient gates,
so that the glorious king
may come in.
8Who is this glorious king?
He is our Lord, a strong
and mighty warrior.
9Open the ancient gates,
so that the glorious king
may come in.
10Who is this glorious king?
He is our Lord,
the All-Powerful!

the world and those who dwell therein,
2for he has #Ps. 104:5; Job 38:6; Prov. 8:29 founded it upon #Ps. 136:6; Gen. 1:9the seas
and established it upon the rivers.
3 # For ver. 3-5, see Ps. 15:1-5 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his #Ps. 2:6holy place?
4 # [Deut. 10:12; Isa. 33:15, 16; Mic. 6:8] He who has #See Job 22:30 clean hands and #Ps. 73:1; Matt. 5:8 a pure heart,
who does not #[Ezek. 18:6] lift up his soul to #Ps. 31:6; 119:37what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
5He will receive #[Gen. 22:17, 18] blessing from the Lord
and #Isa. 46:13; 56:1 righteousness from #Ps. 27:9; 38:22; 51:14; 88:1the God of his salvation.
6Such is #Ps. 14:5 the generation of those who seek him,
who #Ps. 27:8; 105:4seek the face of the God of Jacob.#24:6 Septuagint, Syriac, and two Hebrew manuscripts; Masoretic Text who seek your face, Jacob Selah
7 # [Ps. 118:19, 20; Isa. 26:2] Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that #[1 Cor. 2:8]the King of glory may come in.
8Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord, #[Ex. 15:3]mighty in battle!
9Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.
10Who is this King of glory?

Mal. 1:14
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory! Selah
