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.

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

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

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

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

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

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