Psalm
24
[Recommended tunes: v 1-6 Praetorius, Winchester;
v 7-10 St George’s Edinburgh, St Magnus]
8,6,8,6
|
1The earth belongs unto the Lord,
and all that it contains;
The
world that is inhabited,
and all that there remains.
|
|
2For the foundations thereof
he on the seas did lay,
And
he hath it established
upon the floods to stay.
|
|
3Who is the man that shall ascend
into the hill of God?
Or
who within his holy place
shall have a firm abode?
|
|
4Whose hands are clean, whose heart is pure,
and unto vanity
Who
hath not lifted up his soul,
nor sworn deceitfully.
|
|
5He from th' Eternal shall receive
the blessing him upon,
And
righteousness, ev'n from the God
of his salvation.
|
|
6This is the generation
that after him enquire,
O
Jacob, who do seek thy face
with their whole heart's desire.
|
|
7Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
Be
lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
|
|
8But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
Ev'n
that same Lord, that great in might
and strong in battle is.
|
|
9Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
Be
lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
|
|
10But who is he that is the King
of glory? who is this?
The
Lord of hosts, and none but he,
the King of glory is.
