Psalms 24 — NETB

A psalm of David.

24Verse 1The Lord owns the earth and all it contains,
the world and all who live in it.
^{Verse 2}For he set its foundation upon the seas,
and established it upon the ocean currents.
^{Verse 3}Who is allowed to ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?
^{Verse 4}The one whose deeds are blameless
and whose motives are pure,
who does not lie,
or make promises with no intention of keeping them.
^{Verse 5}Such godly people are rewarded by the Lord,
and vindicated by the God who delivers them.
^{Verse 6}Such purity characterizes the people who seek his favor,
Jacob’s descendants, who pray to him. (Selah)
^{Verse 7}Look up, you gates!
Rise up, you eternal doors!
Then the majestic king will enter!
^{Verse 8}Who is this majestic king?
The Lord who is strong and mighty!
The Lord who is mighty in battle!
^{Verse 9}Look up, you gates!
Rise up, you eternal doors!
Then the majestic king will enter!
^{Verse 10}Who is this majestic king?
The Lord who commands armies!
He is the majestic king! (Selah)
