The Hebrew Psalms in English Verse
Psalm 24
Abraham Coles
Jehovah's right to all extends;
He made, and all upholds as well —
The earth with all it comprehends;
The world and all that therein dwell. —
2 He founded it upon the seas.
And stablished it by firm decrees.
3 Who shall ascend into His Hill?
Who stand within His Holy Place?
4 He with clean hands, pure heart and will,
Who does not stoop to actions base;
Who not deceitfully has sworn,
But holds all lying arts in scorn.
5 He blessings shall from God receive —
Dear pledges of His saving grace:
The God of Truth will not deceive
Those who sincerely seek His face —
6 The sons of Jacob who inquire,
God's chosen, shall have their desire.
Lift up your heads, ye ancient gates!
Ye everlasting doors, give way!
For lo! the King of Glory waits.
And means to enter in to-day.
"Who is this King of Glory? Who?"
Jehovah, mighty to subdue.
Lift up your heads, ye ancient gates!
Ye everlasting doors, give way!
For lo! the King of Glory waits,
And means to enter in to-day.
"Who is this King of Glory, then?"
The Lord of angels and of men.
