Psalm 24B: Psalm 24

Mear C.M. [F]

1. 1 The earth belongeth to the LORD,
        And all that it contains;
The world that is inhabited
        And all that there remains.

2. 2 For He upon the waters vast
        Did its foundation lay;
He firmly has established it
        Upon the floods to stay.

3. 3 Who is the man that shall ascend
        Into the hill of GOD?
Or who within His holy place
        Shall have a firm abode?

4. 4 Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure,
        And unto vanity
Who has not lifted up his soul,
        Nor sworn deceitfully.

5. 5 This is the man who shall receive
        The blessing from the LORD;
The God of his salvation shall
        Him righteousness accord.

6. 6 Lo, this the generation is
        That after Him inquire,
O Jacob, who do seek Thy face
        With all their heart's desire.

7. 7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
        Ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
        Of glory enter may.

8. 8 But who of glory is the King?
        The mighty LORD is this;
Ev'n that same LORD that great in might
        And strong in battle is.

9. 9 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
        Ye doors that last for aye,
Be lifted up, that so the King
        Of glory enter may.

10. 10 But who is He that is the King
        Of glory? Who is this?
The LORD of Hosts and He alone
        The king of glory is.
