A Psalm of David. The earth is Jehovah's, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein. | A Psalm. Of David. The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it. |
For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods. | For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers. |
Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place? | Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place? |
He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully. | He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath. |
He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. | He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. |
This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, [even] Jacob. Selah | This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah.) |
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in. | Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in. |
Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle. | Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war. |
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in. | Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in. |
Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah | Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah.) |
