Psalms 24
A liturgy in three movements: the whole earth belongs to the LORD (v.1-2), a question about who may climb his hill and the answer of clean hands and a pure heart (v.3-6), then the gates commanded twice to open for the King of glory (v.7-10). Watch the call-and-response structure. Each summons to the gates is met by the question "Who is this King of glory?" and answered with battle titles, ending on "the LORD of Armies."
- 1
The earth is the LORD’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
- 2
For he has founded it on the seas, and established it on the floods.
- 3
Who may ascend to the LORD’s hill? Who may stand in his holy place?
- 4
He who has clean hands and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul to falsehood, and has not sworn deceitfully.
- 5
He shall receive a blessing from the LORD, righteousness from the God of his salvation.
- 6
This is the generation of those who seek Him, who seek your face—even Jacob. Selah.
- 7
Lift up your heads, you gates! Be lifted up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
- 8
Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
- 9
Lift up your heads, you gates; yes, lift them up, you everlasting doors, and the King of glory will come in.
- 10
Who is this King of glory? The LORD of Armies is the King of glory! Selah.
- 1
Do SENHOR é a terra e a sua plenitude; o mundo e aqueles que nele habitam.
- 2
Pois ele a fundou sobre os mares, e a estabeleceu sobre as correntes.
- 3
Quem poderá subir ao monte do SENHOR? Quem poderá permanecer no seu santo lugar?
- 4
Aquele que tem as mãos limpas e o coração puro; que não entrega a sua alma à falsidade, nem jura enganosamente.
- 5
Ele receberá a bênção do SENHOR, e a justiça do Deus da sua salvação.
- 6
Esta é a geração daqueles que o buscam, que buscam a tua face — sim, Jacó. Selá.
- 7
Levantem as suas cabeças, ó portas! Ergam-se, ó portais eternos, e o Rei da glória entrará.
- 8
Quem é o Rei da glória? O SENHOR forte e poderoso, o SENHOR poderoso na batalha.
- 9
Levantem as suas cabeças, ó portas; sim, levantem-nas, ó portais eternos, e o Rei da glória entrará.
- 10
Quem é este Rei da glória? O SENHOR dos Exércitos é o Rei da glória! Selá.
From ownership to entry
The psalm reasons in order. Because the earth and all in it are God's (v.1), the question becomes who is fit to approach him. The qualification is moral, not ritual: hands and heart, and not having sworn deceitfully.
Then the perspective flips. Having asked who may go up to God's place, the song turns to demand that the doors themselves rise so the King can enter. Twice the gates are addressed, and twice the title is unpacked.
