Psalm 24 - Bible in Basic English with Hebrew

1 <A Psalm. Of David.> The earth is the Lord's, with all its wealth; the world and all the people living in it.

1 לְדָוִ֗ד מִ֫זְמֹ֥ור לַֽ֭יהוָה³ הָאָ֣רֶץ וּמְלֹואָ֑הּ תֵּ֝בֵ֗ל וְיֹ֣שְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃

2 For by him it was based on the seas, and made strong on the deep rivers.

2 כִּי־ה֖וּא עַל־יַמִּ֣ים יְסָדָ֑הּ וְעַל־נְ֝הָרֹ֗ות יְכֹונְנֶֽהָ׃

3 Who may go up into the hill of the Lord? and who may come into his holy place?

3 מִֽי־יַעֲלֶ֥ה בְהַר־יְהוָ֑ה וּמִי־יָ֝קוּם בִּמְקֹ֥ום קָדְשֹֽׁו׃

4 He who has clean hands and a true heart; whose desire has not gone out to foolish things, who has not taken a false oath.

4 נְקִ֥י כַפַּ֗יִם וּֽבַר־לֵ֫בָ֥ב אֲשֶׁ֤ר׀ לֹא־נָשָׂ֣א לַשָּׁ֣וְא נַפְשִׁ֑י וְלֹ֖א נִשְׁבַּ֣ע לְמִרְמָֽה׃

5 He will have blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.

5 יִשָּׂ֣א בְ֭רָכָה מֵאֵ֣ת יְהוָ֑ה וּ֝צְדָקָ֗ה מֵאֱלֹהֵ֥י יִשְׁעֹֽו׃

6 This is the generation of those whose hearts are turned to you, even to your face, O God of Jacob. (Selah.)

6 זֶ֭ה דֹּ֣ור דֹּרְשֹׁו דֹּרְשָׁ֑יו מְבַקְשֵׁ֨י פָנֶ֖יךָ יַעֲקֹ֣ב סֶֽלָה׃

7 Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

7 שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים׀ רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וְֽ֭הִנָּשְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עֹולָ֑ם וְ֝יָבֹ֗וא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֹֽוד׃

8 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of strength and power, the Lord strong in war.

8 מִ֥י זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫בֹ֥וד יְ֭הוָה עִזּ֣וּז וְגִבֹּ֑ור יְ֝הוָ֗ה גִּבֹּ֥ור מִלְחָמָֽה׃

9 Let your heads be lifted up, O doors; let them be lifted up, O you eternal doors: that the King of glory may come in.

9 שְׂא֤וּ שְׁעָרִ֨ים׀ רָֽאשֵׁיכֶ֗ם וּ֭שְׂאוּ פִּתְחֵ֣י עֹולָ֑ם וְ֝יָבֹא מֶ֣לֶךְ הַכָּבֹֽוד׃

10 Who is the King of glory? The Lord of armies, he is the King of glory. (Selah.)

10 מִ֤י ה֣וּא זֶה֮ מֶ֤לֶךְ הַכָּ֫בֹ֥וד יְהוָ֥ה צְבָאֹ֑ות ה֤וּא מֶ֖לֶךְ הַכָּבֹ֣וד סֶֽלָה׃
