PSALM 24
1 The psalm of David. The earth and the fullness thereof is the Lord’s; the world, and all that dwell therein.
2 For he founded it on the seas; and made it ready on floods.
3 Who shall ascend or go up into the hill of the Lord; either who shall stand in the holy place of him?
4 The innocent in hands, that is, in works, and in clean heart; which took not his soul in vain, neither swore in guile to his neighbour.
5 He shall take blessing of the Lord; and mercy of God his health.
6 This is the generation of men seeking him; of men seeking the face of God of Jacob.
7 Ye princes, take up your gates, and ye everlasting gates, be ye raised; and the king of glory shall enter.
8 Who is this king of glory? the Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Ye princes, take up your gates, and ye everlasting gates, be ye raised; and the king of glory shall enter.
10 Who is this king of glory? the Lord of virtues*In the original Old Testament of the “Wycliffe Bible”, but only in Psalms, numerous verses have the phrase ‘the Lord of virtues’/’the Lord God of virtues’, where ‘virtues’ refers to ‘hosts’ or ‘armies’, as it does elsewhere, and so should be read ‘the Lord of hosts/’the Lord God of hosts’. As well, ‘virtue’ can mean ‘victory’, ‘power’ and ‘might/y’.or the Lord of hosts, he is the king of glory.
