Psalms 24

Psalm 24
This is a psalm that David wrote.
Who can come near to God, the great King?
1The whole earth belongs to the Lord.
Everybody who lives in the world
and all the things in it belong to him.
2The Lord built the foundation of the earth.
He built it on the seas and the rivers. #24:2 See Genesis 1:9-10. God made the dry land become separate from the water of the seas.
3Who may climb up the hill of the Lord?
Who can stand in his holy place? #24:3 The hill of the Lord was Mount Zion. God's holy place was the tent where the Covenant Box was. Later, it was the temple that King Solomon built.
4Only the person who does what is right,
and who has pure thoughts.
He does not worship idols
and he does not make false promises.
5The Lord will bless people who are like that.
The Lord God will save them.
He will say that they are not guilty of wrong things.
6People like that come to God.
They want to please him.
They like to pray to the God of Jacob. #24:6 Jacob was Abraham's grandson. His father was Isaac. Esau was his brother. God gave Jacob a new name, ‘Israel’. The 12 tribes of Israel were descendants of Jacob's 12 sons.
7Old gates of the city, wake up!
Open now, to leave a wide path!
Then the great king of glory will come in.
8Who is this great king of glory?
He is the Lord,
who is strong and powerful.
He is the Lord,
who wins against his enemies.
9Be ready, you old gates of the city!
Be ready to open wide!
Then the great king of glory will come in.
10Who is this great king?
He is the Almighty Lord.
Yes, he is the great king of glory!
