Psalms 24:1-6

The King of Glory Enters His Holy Place

Psalm 24 moves from creation-wide ownership, to holy access, to covenant blessing, to the triumphant entrance of the King of glory.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

A Psalm of David.

1 The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.

2 For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in His holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear deceitfully.

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from the God of his salvation.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek Your face, O God of Jacob. Selah
