Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 24

 The earth belongs to You, O Lord,
and everything within it—
the world and all who dwell in it.

For You set its foundations upon the seas,
and laid it firm upon the waters.

Who may stand in Your holy presence?

Those whose hearts are true,
whose hands are open and pure,
who seek You with honesty and love.

They will receive Your blessing, O Lord,

and be embraced by Your kindness.

Lift up your heads, O gates!

Open wide, ancient doors,
that the glorious One may enter!

Who is this glorious One?

The Lord, strong and full of light,
the One who lifts up the weary
and fills the hearts of the faithful with joy.

Lift up your heads, O gates!

Open wide, ancient doors,
that the glorious One may enter!

You, O Lord, reign in love and majesty,
forever and ever.
