Psalms 24

₁The earth and everything on it

belong to the LORD.

The world and its people

belong to him.

₂The LORD placed it all

on the oceans and rivers.

₃Who may climb the LORD's hill

or stand in his holy temple?

₄Only those who do right

for the right reasons,

and don't worship idols

or tell lies under oath.

₅The LORD God, who saves them,

will bless and reward them,

₆because they worship and serve

the God of Jacob.

₇Open the ancient gates,

so that the glorious king

may come in.

₈Who is this glorious king?

He is our LORD, a strong

and mighty warrior.

₉Open the ancient gates,

so that the glorious king

may come in.

₁₀Who is this glorious king?

He is our LORD,

the All-Powerful!
