24 To Jehovah belong the earth and that which fills it,+
The productive land* and those dwelling in it.+
2 For upon the seas he himself has solidly fixed it,+
And upon the rivers* he keeps it firmly established.+
3 Who may ascend into the mountain of Jehovah,+
And who may rise up in his holy place?+
4 Anyone innocent in his hands and clean in heart,+
Who has not carried My* soul* to sheer worthlessness,+
Nor taken an oath deceitfully.+
5 He will carry away blessing from Jehovah+
And righteousness from his God of salvation.+
6 This is the generation of those seeking him,
Of those searching for your face, O [God of] Jacob.*+ Se′lah.
7 Raise YOUR heads, O YOU gates,+
And raise yourselves up, O YOU long-lasting* entrances,+
That the glorious King may come in!+
8 Who, then, is this glorious King?+
Jehovah strong and mighty,+
Jehovah mighty in battle.*+
9 Raise YOUR heads, O YOU gates;+
Yes, raise [them] up, O YOU long-lasting entrances,
That the glorious King may come in!+
10 Who, then, is he, this glorious King?
Jehovah of armies*—he is the glorious King.+ Se′lah.
