This is a song that David wrote.

The great King [ a ]

24 The whole earth belongs to the Lord .
Everybody who lives in the world
and all the things in it belong to him.
2 The Lord built the foundation of the earth.
He built it on the seas and the rivers. [ b ]

3 Who may climb up the hill of the Lord ? [ c ]
Who can stand in his holy place? [ d ]
4 Only the person who does what is right,
and who has pure thoughts.
He does not worship idols
and he does not make false promises.
5 The Lord will bless people who are like that.
God will save them.
He will say that they are not guilty of wrong things.
6 People like that come to God.
They want to please him.
They like to pray to the God of Jacob.
Selah.
7 Old gates of the city, wake up!
Open now, to leave a wide path!
Then the great king will come in.
8 Who is this great king?
He is the Lord ,
who is strong and powerful.
He is the Lord ,
who wins against his enemies.
9 Be ready, you old gates of the city!
Be ready to open wide!
Then the great king will come in.
10 Who is this great king?
He is the Almighty Lord .
Yes, he is the great king!
Selah.

Footnotes

  1. 24:1 Jerusalem was a very old city, even when David was king there. David brought the Covenant Box into Jerusalem. See 2 Samuel 6:12-17 .
  2. 24:2 God made everything. First he made the seas. Then he made the dry land. He made the dry land become separate from the water of the seas and the rivers.
  3. 24:3 The hill of the Lord is Mount Zion. After David died, King Solomon built God's temple on this hill in Jerusalem.
  4. 24:3 God's holy place was in the tent where the Covenant Box was. Later, it was in the temple.

A song of David.

24 The earth and everything on it belong to the Lord .
The world and all its people belong to him.
2 He built the earth on the water.
He built it over the rivers.

3 Who can go up on the Lord ’s mountain [ a ] ?
Who can stand in his holy Temple?
4 Only those who have not done evil,
who have pure hearts,
who have not used my name [ b ] to hide their lies,
and who have not made false promises.

5 Good people ask the Lord to bless others.
They ask God, their Savior, to do good things.
6 They try to follow God.
They go to the God of Jacob for help. Selah

7 Gates, proudly lift your heads!
Open, ancient doors,
and the glorious King will come in.
8 Who is the glorious King?
He is the Lord , the powerful soldier.
He is the Lord , the war hero.

9 Gates, proudly lift your heads!
Open, ancient doors,
and the glorious King will come in.
10 Who is the glorious King?
The Lord All-Powerful is the glorious King. Selah
