Psalm 24

Entrance into the Temple

Of David. A Psalm.
¹ The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it,
   the world, and those who live in it;
² for he has founded it on the seas,
   and established it on the rivers.

³ Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
   And who shall stand in his holy place?
⁴ Those who have clean hands and pure hearts,
   who do not lift up their souls to what is false,
   and do not swear deceitfully.
⁵ They will receive blessing from the Lord,
   and vindication from the God of their salvation.
⁶ Such is the company of those who seek him,
   who seek the face of the God of Jacob.^*
          Selah

⁷ Lift up your heads, O gates!
   and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
   that the King of glory may come in.
⁸ Who is the King of glory?
   The Lord, strong and mighty,
   the Lord, mighty in battle.
⁹ Lift up your heads, O gates!
   and be lifted up, O ancient doors!
   that the King of glory may come in.
¹⁰ Who is this King of glory?
   The Lord of hosts,
   he is the King of glory.
          Selah

Psalm 29

The Voice of God in a Great Storm

A Psalm of David.
¹ Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,^*
   ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;
   worship the Lord in holy splendour.

³ The voice of the Lord is over the waters;
   the God of glory thunders,
   the Lord, over mighty waters.
⁴ The voice of the Lord is powerful;
   the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;
   the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
   and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.
⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
   the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of the Lord causes the oaks to whirl,^*
   and strips the forest bare;
   and in his temple all say, ‘Glory!’

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;
   the Lord sits enthroned as king for ever.
¹¹ May the Lord give strength to his people!
   May the Lord bless his people with peace!
