24
The King of Glory Entering Zion.
*A Psalm of David.
The earth is the Loʀᴅ’s, and the fullness of it,
The world, and those who dwell in it. [1 Cor 10:26]
For He has founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the streams and the rivers.
Who may ascend onto the mountain of the Loʀᴅ?
And who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to what is false,
Nor has sworn [oaths] deceitfully. [Matt 5:8]
He shall receive a blessing from the Loʀᴅ,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
This is the generation (description) of those who diligently seek Him and require Him as their greatest need,
Who seek Your face, even [as did] Jacob. [Ps 42:1] Selah.
 
Lift up your heads, O gates,
And be lifted up, ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in.
Who is the King of glory?
The Loʀᴅ strong and mighty,
The Loʀᴅ mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O gates,
And lift them up, ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is [He then] this King of glory?
The Loʀᴅ of hosts,
He is the King of glory [who rules over all creation with His heavenly armies]. Selah.
* 24: In the Talmud it is said that the Levites sang a particular psalm for every day of the week, and this was the psalm for the first day. 24:1 The ancient rabbis taught that since the earth and everything it contains belongs to the Loʀᴅ, it is sacrilege to enjoy anything of the world without first saying a benediction for it. 24:3 I.e. Mount Zion.
