Psalm 24, NEW INTERNATIONAL READER’S VERSION
Prior Chapter  |  Next Chapter

1

The earth belongs to the Lord.
And so does everything in it.
The world belongs to him.
And so do all those who live in it.
 

2

He set it firmly on the oceans.
He made it secure on the waters.
 

3

Who can go up to the temple on the hill of the Lord?
Who can stand in his holy place?
 

4

Anyone who has clean hands and a pure heart.
He does not worship the statue of a god.
He doesn’t use the name of that god when he makes a promise.
 

5

People like that will receive the Lord’s blessing.
When God their Saviour hands down his sentence,
it will be in their favour.
 

6

The people who look to God are like that.
God of Jacob, they look to you.
Selah
 

7

Open wide, you gates.
Open up, you age old doors.
Then the King of glory will come in.
 

8

Who is the King of glory?
The Lord, who is strong and mighty.
The Lord, who is mighty in battle.
 

9

Open wide, you gates.
Open wide, you age old doors.
Then the King of glory will come in.
 

10

Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord who rules over all.
He is the King of glory.
Selah
