Chapter 24

Who Shall Ascend the Hill of the Lord

The earth and all its inhabitants belong to the Lord, who founded it upon the seas. Only those with clean hands and a pure heart, who have not lifted their souls to vanity or sworn deceitfully, may ascend the hill of the Lord and stand in his holy place. Such seekers shall receive blessing and righteousness from the God of salvation, and the King of glory shall come in to dwell.

¹The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

²For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

³Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

⁴He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

⁵He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

⁶This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.

⁷Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

⁸Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

⁹Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

¹⁰Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Selah.
