Psalm 24Words: John Hopkins, as in The Scottish Psalter of 1635
This is one of three Psalms set to the same tune in the 1635 Scottish Psalter. 1 The earth is all the Lord's, with all her store and furniture; Yea, his is all the work, and all that therein doth endure: 2 For he hath fastly founded it above the seas to stand, And placed below the liquid floods, to flow beneath the land. 3 Who is the man, O Lord, that shall ascend unto thy hill? Or pass into thy holy place, there to continue still? 4 E'en he whose hands and heart are pure, which nothing doth defile, His soul not set on vanity< and hath not sworn to guile. 5 Him that is such a one, the Lord most highly will regard, And from his God and Savior shall receive a just reward. 6 This is the generation of them that do seek his grace, E'en them that with an upright heart, O Jacob, seek thy face. 7 Ye gates and everlasting doors,
lift up your heads on high;
Then shall the King of glorious state
come in triumphantly.
8 Who is the King of glorious state?
The great and mighty Lord,
The mighty Lord in battle strong,
and trial of the sword.
9 Ye gates and everlasting doors, lift up your heads on high; then shall the King of glorious state come in triumphantly. 10 Who is the King of glorious state? The Lord of hosts it is; The kingdom and the royalty of glorious state is his. |
