Psalms 24

1Unto the end, a psalm for David. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul.

1 The earth is Jehovah’s, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein.

2In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.

2For he hath founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the floods.

3Neither let my enemies laugh at me: for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.

3Who shall ascend into the hill of Jehovah? And who shall stand in his holy place?

4Let all them be confounded that act unjust things without cause. Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, and teach me thy paths.

4He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; Who hath not lifted up his soul unto falsehood, And hath not sworn deceitfully.

5Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.

5He shall receive a blessing from Jehovah, And righteousness from the God of his salvation.

6Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.

6This is the generation of them that seek after him, That seek thy face, even Jacob. [Selah

7The sins of my youth and my ignorances do not remember. According to thy mercy remember thou me: for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.

7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; And be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.

8The Lord is sweet and righteous: therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.

8Who is the King of glory? Jehovah strong and mighty, Jehovah mighty in battle.

9He will guide the mild in judgment: he will teach the meek his ways.

9Lift up your heads, O ye gates; Yea, lift them up, ye everlasting doors: And the King of glory will come in.

10All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.

10Who is this King of glory? Jehovah of hosts, He is the King of glory. [Selah

11For thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: for it is great.
