24:1 A song of David. The earth and all that’s upon it belong to the Eternal. The world is His, with every living creature on it.
24:2 With seas as foundations and rivers as boundaries, He shaped the continents, fashioned the earth.
24:3 Who can possibly ascend the mountain of the Eternal? Who can stand before Him in sacred spaces?
24:4 Only those whose hands have been washed and hearts made pure, men and women who are not given to lies or deception.
24:5 The Eternal will stand close to them with blessing and mercy at hand, and the God who redeems will right what has been wrong.
24:6 These are the people who chase after Him; [like Jacob, they look for the face of God]. [pause]
24:7 City gates—open wide! Ancient doors—stand back! For the glorious King shall soon pass your way.
24:8 Who is the glorious King? The Eternal who is powerful and mightily equipped for battle.
24:9 City gates—open wide! Ancient doors—stand back! For the glorious King shall soon pass your way.
24:10 Who is the glorious King? The Eternal, Commander of heaven’s army, He is the glorious King. [pause]
