[ Read](/kjv/psalms/24)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/24)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/24) Audio

 1 The earth *is* the LORD’s, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.

 3 Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?

 4 He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.*

 5 He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

 6 This *is* the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. Selah.*

 7 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

 8 Who *is* this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.

 9 Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift *them* up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he *is* the King of glory. Selah.

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
(1) **The Lord’s.**—The majesty of Jehovah as Lord of the universe is a reason to the psalmist for insisting on rectitude and sincerity in those who become His worshippers. St. Paul uses the same truth, referring to this place ([1 Corinthians 10:26](/kjv/1-corinthians/10/26)), to show that all things are innocent and pure to the pure; so that a Christian (apart from a charitable regard for the weak) may eat whatever is sold in the shambles, without troubling himself to inquire whether it has been offered to idols or not.
