Psalm 24

Domini est terra

1 THE earth is the Lord's, and all that therein is * the compass of the world, and they that dwell therein.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas * and prepared it upon the floods.

3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord * or who shall rise up in his holy place?

4 Even he that hath clean hands, and a pure heart * and that hath not lift up his mind unto vanity, nor sworn to deceive his neighbour.

5 He shall receive the blessing from the Lord * and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him * even of them that seek thy face, O Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors * and the King of glory shall come in.

8 Who is the King of glory * it is the Lord strong and mighty, even the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors * and the King of glory shall come in.

10 Who is the King of glory * even the Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen.
