Salmos 24

The King of Glory

A psalm of David.*The Hebrew Bible counts the superscription as the first verse of the psalm

1 The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness,

the world and those who live in it,

2 because he has founded it on the seas,

and has established it on the rivers.

3 Who may ascend the mountain of Yahweh?

And who may stand in his holy place?

4 He who is innocent of hands and pure of heart,

who does not lift up his soul to falseness,

and does not swear deceitfully.

5 He will receive blessing from Yahweh,

and justice*Or "vindication" from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the sort of those who seek*According to the reading tradition (Qere) him,

those who seek your face, even Jacob. Selah

7 Lift up your heads, O gates,

and rise up, O ancient doorways,

that the king of glory*Literally "the king of the glory" may enter.

8 Who is the king of glory?*Literally "the king of the glory"

Yahweh, strong and mighty;

Yahweh, mighty in war!

9 Lift up your heads, O gates,

and lift up, O ancient doorways,

that the king of glory*Literally "the king of the glory" may enter.

10 Who is the king of glory?*Literally "the king of the glory"

Yahweh of hosts,

He is the king of glory!*Literally "the king of the glory"Selah
