Psalms 24 Summary

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.
